I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for the following that meet possibly weird and certainly nit-picky criteria.
A. This is largely academic since the old Ortlieb Backrollers serve well enough, but I do prefer a flap with Fastek buckle instead of the rollup method of closure. So: What is the best grocery pannier, defining best by my own criteria, in order of importance: 1. Single compartment large enough to swallow a full paper grocery sack, and with no interior pockets or dividers of any sort; 2. Flap with single buckle. 3. As sturdy at least as the Ortliebs, tho' I don't care if it's cotton or nylon canvas or tarp material; and I do not need it to be waterproof, just water resistant (ie, not a sponge). 4. Has attachments with considerable lateral adjustment -- I must offset large panniers to the rear on the bike carrying it -- I prefer the Ortlieb-type of closure but I'm open to other adjustable systems; 5. Comes in red; 6. Has a nice convenient outer pocket big enough for a large bunch o' keys. Criteria 1 thru 4 are required, # 5 is important, # 6 would be nice. B. On rides like this afternoon's, 48-50 F but cloudy (full sun at 5K+ feet is the equivalent of +10*F in air temperature) I like a ls med weight wool jersey + a second ls layer, and I've been using a full-zip wool jersey bought deliberately large. But the fit isn't as good as it might be. So: What is a good LS, full-cut (to fit over a ls wool jersey) medium weight wool (*wool* -- it has to breathe) with either a full zip or at least a long partial zipper (must be easy to get on over ls jersey), rear pockets preferred (I'd happily accept chest pockets, but it must have cycling-compatible -- drop bar cycling -- pockets). Red, blue, gray, orange, even, even black, but no pastels. Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
