I met a guy in a Montana campground tossing his front packs into a dumpster. The crosswind was killing him and the wind was forecast to keep up all week.
It is only my perception, but I feel my front panniers add a lot of forward resistance in cross winds. My front panniers increase the headwind effect of a quartering crosswind.
