Waterproof. These things are waterproof. No problems there. These are the smaller of the two pairs.<\/p>\n

I cannot fit my 15.4 laptop in these bags. That friggin blows. I think I’ll keep them for my ever so rare bike camping trip.<\/p>\n

But no laptop, and they hold clothes, food, cell, wallet, tools beautifully. They come with the KLICKFIX system so setting them up and taking them on\/off is a breeze. They have one large pocket, no dividers.<\/p>\n

I have used them shopping. I can fit in a big soymilk, loaf of bread, potatoes, onion, 2 liter bottle of coke in just 1 pannier no problem. Ok I had do grocery tetris, but nothing was crushed when I got home. And part of my route home went over dirt trails.<\/p>\n

I’d get these if I had a small laptop. Well actually I’d trade my laptop for a smaller one just so I could use these more. They are well built and have the REI unconditional satisfaction garantee.<\/p>\n
