We are fans of Ortlieb and currently ride with their Sport Roller City and Gravel-Pack bags - front panniers but installed on the back. They are the right size for our needs, and we like that the Sport Roller City comes in white. With our sun and heat in southern Arizona, the lighter color option keeps our snacks and water a little cooler. Plus white is very visible at night. Nice to see Ortlieb is looking at quicker access systems, as super waterproofness is not our first priority here in the desert.
Those are really great points! I guess the waterproof element can help to keep dust out though. I imagine this is also a challenge where you are. I hadn’t thought about the light colors so much, but that totally makes sense.
