Nicely detailed by the looks of it.
Wife has been operating a work backpack inside an ortlieb classic situation for a while now. Keeps work bag clean and dry and separates commute stuff (clothes - waterproofs etc) from work stuff - laptops / papers etc. Also can wear backpack and fill pannier at shops on way home if needs be.
Ortlieb just released their Vario PS, a Pannier and backpack in one.
In theory this could be ideal for my use case. A waterproof backpack that can be used as a pannier as well.
Or is it just a questionable compromise that don't really shine in either configuration? It seems rather large in size used as pannier..
