Not sure if they're backpacks. I'm not familiar with the 58 gear. I've just posted a pic on the other "silvermans" thread.
Can you identify them for me Sealous ????? (or anyone)
I knew they wern't waterproof so I've sealed them with multipurpose waterproofer (£15 for 4L but only needed 1.5L for a dousing), using a £2 spray gun.
I tested them with the hose and the water beads off... Still, all my gear is kept in waterproof roll bags anyway. I can recommend these to anyone if they're looking for a cheap, waterproof softbag "inner bag"
They cost about £5 each. I bought 4 on ebay. When full, each 58 pannier fits 2.
I also love the side pockets, straps, and hangers on my 58 stuff.
