Had the paniers used em once but quite fiddily to get secure, might be me though. Got a kriega tail pack and its bombproof. Rigid on the bike nice and quick to fit and waterproof.

ditto!

once i'd figured out the best way to secure the panniers they fitted quite well, but the rain-proof covers only cover part of them so the spray coming off the wheels can still get in

I have the first two things. I like them. I'd avoid the oxford, posted a video on here of it being compromised easily. Xena are well rated.

I've got the tailpack. It's been on my bike pretty much constantly since I passed my test 7000 miles ago. I use it to carry my lunch and normal trousers to work.

It does the job. I lost the rain cover early on, somewhere on the 75-mile journey to my parents'. I lost one of the bungees and I replaced it with some shorter ones because most of the time it's not very full. At first I thought the bungees were a faff (the instructions say you must use them, they don't show them on the photos, funny eh) but I've got used to using them. They've put a few scratches on the bike though.

The zip pull on the rear pocket is like a normal zip pull dipped in rubber to make it bigger and the rubber bit has nearly torn off. I hope I can attach a bit of cord (or insulated solid core wire, my usual zip pull fix) so it remains easy to open.

It's not a luxury item but it does the job for not too much money. I've also got a tank bag (Buffalo) but I only use it on weekends away when I need extra storage or if carrying a pillion. I prefer the tailpack as it is out of the way behind me.
