VIDEO SUMMARY
I have used both the Ortlieb Back Roller Classic 40L and the Vaude Aqua Back Plus 51L for roughly the same amount of time. I really enjoyed both sets of panniers while using them, but ultimately there's one I wouldn't get again. In this video I'll dig into the layouts, carrying capacities, durability, attachment styles, waterproofness and warranties of these bags. If you're on the hunt for a good set of panniers, this video is for you!
