I feel obligated to offer a contrary opinion on Wolfman, given all the cheery accolades. I've got Wolfman's Expedition Saddlebags, and the fastening system needed modification (and in the end I cut most straps off and bungie them on instead). Much worse, they leak copiously at first hint of rain....but once the water leaks in, it never leaks out. Riding four hours in the rain yields a couple of inches of liquid water in the bottom of the bags, soaking whatever I've been carrying there. Varying my roll-top folding has no effect. Seems pretty silly; if water's going to enter, at least provide a couple of grommets where it can leak back out.
Of course, I had the same complaint about the front pockets on my fancy Darien jacket—water enters, then pools there forever. Motorcyclists, for all their complaining, settle for a lot of faulty design. No self-respecting kayaker (or surfer dude) would accept pockets which fill with water so readily.
We now return to your regularly scheduled cheeriness.
enjoy,
Mark
