Switched from a backpack to panniers last spring and I'm never going back
After 3 years of showing up with a sweaty back from my 8 mile commute through Portland, I finally tried a set of Ortlieb panniers and the difference in comfort and airflow was so huge I actually look forward to the ride now instead of dreading it.

Stopped me cold with "sweaty back for 3 years" haha that's dedication. Can't believe you put up with that for 8 miles a day through Portland. I'd have snapped way sooner, lol.

Oh man, 8 miles a day through Portland with a sweaty backpack is basically a choice between smelling like rain or smelling like a gym. I bet strangers thought she was either really dedicated to fitness or just really committed to a bad life decision haha. Three years though, that's like a whole relationship length of back sweat. She must have invented a new type of raincoat that just absorbs everything including personal dignity. She's a stronger person than me, I would have cracked after the first week and just started carrying a change of clothes like a hostage negotiator with themselves.
