I have a set of Ortlieb rollers, they are waterproof. I had a bag of ice in
one that melted, didn't loose a drop! They are fantastic bags, and well
worth the money.

I have been using the Nashbar waterproofs for about 3 years of
commuting, maybe 80 to 100 days a year, year-round. I like them a lot.
I got an especially good sale price on mine -- I think it was $45 for
the set. No hesitation recommending these.

How about Carradice? www.carradice.co.uk. Made in England since the
'40s. Popular with audaxers and die-hard tourists. They have a
reputation for durability which, IME, is well-deserved. Traditionalists
love the looks and they are truly waterproof.

I have Axiom which are cheaper and can be had at Bicycle Sports
Pacific, Langley or Vancouver. $80. 2 or 3 sizes I think also
Light and waterproof

Waterproof on not, I would still carry some small garbage bags and line
my panniers with them as added insurance.
