maybe a bit of touring.
Must be black with some sort of visibility option needs to be waterproof easy to take off and put on and not silly money.

i do like carradice kit 🙂

look at altura orkneys also

just dinny go buying non waterproof panniers if you intend to tour. fannying about with drybags and bin bags is all very well for a couple of days but the ability to chuck your shit in your bag and know it will be dry at the other end makes your day so much easier and quicker packing in the rain 😀

our orkneys have been round nz , down austrailian sunshine coast and all round scotland + commuting since 08

when i said i like carradice i meant i like their duck cotton stuff .... i have a longflap camper that i use for commuting these days - only take panniers when i need to do the shopping

look at the superCs rich - advantages are they can be repaired easy - i had a few old customers that had had their superCs since they were in their 20s - some are in their 60s/70s now. Few of the audaxers i know have duck cotton rear bags for years.

can vouch for the campers waterproofness for sure !

I have some 4-year old Drylines that have been great - but are now wearing away on the back where they touch the rack. Just bought some Ortlieb Bikepackers to replace them.
