Only trouble with this stuff is if you expand them and pack loads of gear in, they tend to hang inwards under their own weight, but I can pack in enough for a wkends camping no problems.
If you want to carry loads of gear then probly better off with some panniers/cases, though I just hate the look too LWR for me (though tempted by those ARD cases), for travelling light and �30 sounds good.

I agree, sold my alu panniers and only use throw-overs and pack-rolls now. The pivot problem is fixed with extra straps on top, needed anyway if going offroad. The soft panniers are more flexible, cheaper and adds less weight then the boxes, looks better too. When I pack I always try to keep the balance of the bike and that's easier with these.
