Yeah, and I forgot to mention my son and daughter-in-law use Ortlieb panniers for commuting

That makes 6 sets of Ortlieb rear panniers in the family! There is a good reason why we use them; we have tried and worn out several other brands of panniers, and Ortliebs are a great product. Oh, and we actually use them for touring.
P.S. We live in Oregon, and it rains a little here.
