Genuinely curious: do people without waterproof panniers find that shoving wet things in them allows them to dry?
I forget to dry my hockey equipment once in a while, and I can come back days or a week later and find it still damp (and smelling awful). The bag itself is threadbare in places, certainly far more porous than any of my panniers. I just don't see how waterproof v non-waterproof affects this at all.
