Touring Equipment

I'm also using fronts only on the back for now (Pacific Outdoor), as I wanted to try mine before I go for the proper set. Unfortunatelly they're expensive and I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.
I've managed to get mine on sale, each from a different shop.

The material OverBoard uses feels the same as the material Ortlieb uses to me, and the design looks to be a simple and robust one. The question is wether the stitching is of the same quality.

My main concern is water ingres, as I live in the rainest part of europe. Its a good idea to have several small bags instead of one big one. Because if you have to open one in the rain there's less stuff in it to get wet.

IMHO etc.
