Or the Carradry panniers from the same firm. I have both Ortlieb and Carradry, decide on a trip by trip basis which to bring.
Am unaware of any rodent issues, but if you left food in them, that could occur.
Happy Feet who used to post on this forum was very happy with his Carradry panniers and saddle bag too.
