Thanks, John. As a matter of fact, having just read that Kucharik is selling off stock and will close down after it's all gone, I ordered one of their LS wool full zip jerseys, $136 including shipping and $6 tip for staff. It's green, the only color, while I'd prefer dark red or blue, but for that

About #2, found this nice Merino wool outer layer with rear pockets at Search & State (by way of Radavist). Not cheap at $215, but what wool garment is??? https://searchandstate.com/products/long-sleeve-merino-ranger/# Good luck, JohnS On Saturday, January 22, 2022 at 4:32:09 PM UTC-5 Patrick

Joyce and Turnip: Thank you. Joyce, I see that the Seattle CL offer is red, at least, as far as I can judge from my monitor and with my color-vision-deprived eyes. If I were closer I might well grasp. Too bad I', 1,500 miles away. In fact. I'm not in the market just now, but I may well be in the

Thanks, Eric; and those come in red, too! I want something with a flap and something that can be adapted to an Ortlieb or Arkle-type "clamp" mounting system and be offset to the rear by about 3". I've owned at least 2 different grocery panniers of this design, and they work well on smooth

You need folding baskets with Wald bags in them. I still have the bags, you can have them for shipping, they're perfect for shopping. Joe Bernard On Thursday, January 20, 2022 at 2:23:15 PM UTC-8 Patrick Moore wrote: > Thanks, Robert. I'd rather not deal with neck cords or zippers. Right now

Thanks, Robert. I'd rather not deal with neck cords or zippers. Right now the Backrollers work alright, especially since I removed the internal pockets that would catch bags and items as I shoved them down, and I will investigate the North St. bag. Funny to admit, but if my criteria were purely

I used the Arkel grocery pannier quite a bit and I really liked it. It meets most of your criteria but has a zip top and not a buckle top. The new version looks to have a draw cord top which would make sliding a paper bag full of groceries in more difficult maybe? Their hardware is adjustable

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
