Ortlieb Back Roller Pro Classic
A rack-mounted touring pair with QL2.1 hardware and 40 L listed total capacity.
Pick by rack fit and the amount you carry, not by the word waterproof alone. Banjo Brothers lists a 15 L pannier with a sealed liner and strap mounting, while Thule's selected Shield offer is a two-bag 25 L set with IPX4 protection and hardware for 8-16 mm racks. Thule makes more sense if you want two larger bags and quick removal; the Banjo is less expensive in the catalog, but its offer's exact package count is worth checking. Confirm the live listing and rack compatibility before ordering.
