Better than Ortliebs? My Ortliebs are driving me nuts. The little plastic inserts in the top hooks kept popping out in the dark. Amazing I haven't lost one yet.


I'm thinking of a completely non-waterproof design out of something like Cordura with a pocket on the outer face and one on the rear of the bag about the right size to hold a 1l bottle and with no designs, just plain black with no reflectors. I prefer to not have reflectors on my stuff. I can always buy a bright or reflective item and hang it over my stuff if I feel like it'll help but would prefer to remain obscure when stealth camping in not-so stealthy locations.
Just because panniers are non-waterproof does not mean they are breathable. Most commercially made Cordura panniers have a Urethane "water resistant" coating. If things go in Cordura panniers damp they will come out damp. They don't breathe.
