Voodoo Sally- you look so great heading off to work. I, too, love your pack.

Hoffsquared- I wonder if anything is *really* waterproof when it downpours. Probably, but it's probably more than I'm willing to pay. Good idea about the ziplocs. I have two plastic grocery sacks in my pannier in case it rains, but I always take my camera (it's velcroed to my stem) and if it rains- a plastic bag won't keep it dry.
