I like:
- 100% water proof
- Very easy to get on and off the bike (no bungeys to fiddle with)
- Simple construction.
- No zips to wear out
Don't like
- Bottom of front panniers wore to holes in 4 months continuous use.
- No handy pockets on the outside.
- Rollers are a bit of pain if you want to access stuff quickly.
Yes, I would buy them again.
Exactly my experience. Ortleib has a patch kit that works like a tire patch. I put one on a year ago and it has held up very well.
