  1. I'm seeking advice on suitable pannier or panniers for my daily commute of around 24 miles (total). I normally carry a couple of items of clothes (shirt, socks, etc.) leaving my work suit and shoes at work, and a very few tools .

    They will of course need to be weather proof as I will be cycling throughout winter.

    Any personal recommendations would be gratefully received.

    PS. Im new to this e-community so hope I've posted into the right area.

    Cheers.

  3. I've been using a pair of Nashbar waterproof panniers for a year now. Here is the site: nashbar.comprofile.cfm

    Pros:
    -cheap, $50 ($40 with a 20% off coupon)
    -waterproof
    -big: I can fit a Jansport Backpack packed with textbooks into these bags

    Cons:
    -the panniers don't have any sophisticated mounting equipment, so they'll fly off if you accidentally hit them with the back of your foot
    -one of the plastic buckles that keeps the top flap down has broken
    -there's only one huge pocket, no sub-dividers

    My friend has a pair of Ortliebs, which run in the hundreds of dollars. The higher price is justified by fancier features. But if you want a cheap set, go for these.
