I bought a set of front and rear panniers from them a year ago. These were just the normal ones, not their newer waterproof ones. They are excellent panniers for the money. Durability is great, I use one of them every day for commuting and all of them on tour. The only problem I had was that the hooks were too small for my rack. I ended up getting a hook kit from Arkel. I think MEC now offers oversized hook replacecment kits so this isn't really an issue. I'd go for them! If you live in the US you do have to pay customs fees those, so take that into account.
