I bought some grey ones from Wiggle a couple of days ago along with a rack. No stock until mid Jan so I'm still with the rucksack for a few weeks. I nearly didn't buy them because of that. One of the few times an impulse buy might have paid off...

Today I passed a cyclist with an Ortlieb pannier though he had it slung over his shoulder and open at the top. Sticking out of the bag was the rear triangle of a frame:eek:

saw these for the aforementioned 63 quid from Wiggle yesterday, went to buy them today....up to 84 quid and they've got way less stock and no orange ones. I snoozed, I loosed :sad:

The vaude ones are almost as good, the edinburgh bicycle coop ones are made by vaude, and the ebc ones are orange and cheap. see here.

They have a roll top closure like the ortliebs and though I've not seen them retrieved from a canal I have seen them on a mate's rack for two days of rough stuff in torrential rain in Scotland and everything was bone dry.

Another option might be the Ortlieb Bike Shopper panniers. I have a pair and find them excellent. Completely waterproof, and they have two pockets on the inside. Also they are a doddle to clip on and off the bike, so you can, as the name suggests, carry them about as you shop. I keep mine locked to the rear rack the rest of the time just in case some low-life has the same idea!! :gun:

You might want to look at this site. I have used it 3/4 times and I have been very happy with the speed of delivery (2-3 days).

They are listed at €90 with around a £5 postage.
Interesting to compare the price of the Rose/Ortlieb Back Roller Classics with the additional Rose logo in a limited range of colours at €89.95 with that of the vanilla Ortlieb Back Roller Classics in all the usual colours at €109.95

I've used Rose a few times for bits and pieces and have always been happy.
