What about Performance panniers? They come in two sizes and are pretty affordable. Hubby and I bought the smaller ones for commuting: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=2312. We haven't actually used them yet, but my opinions thus far are favorable. They seem well-made, they're always on sale, and Performance has a "no questions asked" returns policy.

Once we start commuting again, I'll post some more detailed opinions of these.
