waterproof pannier covers

[aqaleigh]

can anyone tell me the best value for money way of keeping the water out of your panniers

Is it just to buy rucksack / pannier covers or do you have a novel or better way of doing it?

cheers

I just pack everything within the pannier inside a heavy duty plastic bag- it doesn't bother me that the panniers are wet, but the contents are dry.

supermarket bags for life are great as liners. You can lift them in and out easily too

Rubble sacks here. Put one inside your bag, fill up, then put another over the top.

My Ortliebs have never leaked.

Get an assortment of Supermarket bags, that way it is easier to find things in your panniers, e.g. Socks and Shirts in a Sainsbury bag, Towel and stuff in a Tesco bag, Maps in a Morrison bag, Candles in a Co-op bag...well, you get the idea

A rubble sack liner and set of carrier bags does the job for me.

all great advice - thanks

i have today bought 5 waterproof sports / gym kit bags to use as liners at a total of £5 - hopefully this will stop the small amount of water leakage i get

cheers again people
