Mine's not that waterproof so I have a drawstring bag inside just to make sure. Also means I can remove all the contents if I leave the bike. I find the bag a PIA to take off. Be great if it had a harness that stays fixed on the bike.
I like the '58 pattern paniers. At least if you want to fit another strap somewhere or repair a rip you can do it easily. Nice "look" as well. I have some ortlieb bicycle panniers that look a bit like the wolfman side bags with some straps missing. They are small but I hope that will stop me carrying too much crap.

I find it strange that you find them hard to remove ! Its only 3 little clips on mine...
I suppose it depends on your bike design and how you attach the front strap. Mine is very simple and I can take it off in less than 5 seconds and back on in 10 !!
I'm going to use mine for my 'Cyclepump' 12v pump and my other tools.. No room for anything else.
