    I ordered some of these yesterday from wiggle who price matched Bike Inn.
    Cost me £79.

    If you take one Ortlieb user's experience of the 2.5 years trouble free use for £100 and compare with £10 cheapo pannier. That works out at replacing cheapo every 3 months. If the Ortlieb lasts 5 years cheapo has to last 6 months. You hear of Ortlieb and also Vaude panniers lasting 10+ years. Makes the cheapo panniers replacing often not good financially. That's assuming you'll always get £10 panniers. Each to their own.
    P.S. I got Ortlieb classic rear panniers for £89 or £80 I can't be remember which. Best buy I've made.




    Hang on, all is not lost as I bought a pair, and still have a shiny new one to tape up and use. :)
