I went to Wallbike.com and looked at Ortleib. I need pretty easy access. Did you use any particular one? Thanks for your quick response!

We have the Bikepacker, because the ones you roll up take too long to get into! I agree; that really matters to us too. In the Bikepackers, things stay totally dry but the panniers open fast with a couple of clicks and a drawstring. Piece of cake, honest.

I asked the same thing last November and someone else asked it in June, and most people seem to like Ortliebs.
I have the Backroller, and I don't find them hard to get into at all. When it's not raining, I don't put the outside strap on, so you just have to click open one buckle to get into them. Highly recommended.

I would recommend Brushwhacker panniers. I have a set of their Yukon panniers and love them.

I have Ortlieb Backrollers. Faster to get into than my old REI panniers. Very waterproof, and they hold a ton of stuff.
