having not had much luck finding used ones i guess ill have to buy new.
How ever with the provenance of bikepacking bags they seem to be rare and expensive when i do find them.
I need 4 front pannier bags for a road/gravel tour of northern canada....and we are taking a decent size tent as the bugs/mozzies are bad so going "bikepacking" isnt happening but i do want to balance the load out rather than jsut sticking it all on the back wheel as i do on road tours.
looking for 20-25litres , dont need to be waterproof just need to be robust - will be fittign to tubus tara low riders if it makes an odds.

Recommend ing what I have. Carradice super c front. Worked well for me. Work as kitchen on o e side and food on the other.
Have. Been secure even on whw down devils staircase(added strap for that)
Carradice factory shop might still be going. Give them a ring.
I had a pair of old rear CarraDrys for about £30 a few years ago.

Cheers gents. Food for thought there.
VauDe seem the popular alternative for Ortileb in mainland Europe. Otherwise the globetrotter.de webshop copies of Ortileb's are cheaper.
Pannier CC list some brooks ones.
We started off with Altura Arran's front and back and are slowly replacing them all. Not that to be honest there is anything wrong with them, certainly not for the price. The fronts are also quite a bit bigger than the ortileb's fronts.
Alpkit do waterproof front panniers/mountable dry bags for decent money...
