3. The warranty is 5 years as opposed to 2 with Carradice.
4. Ortlieb is more water resistant though slightly heavier.
5. The panniers come in yellow which is the safest color while touring.
Ortlieb panniers are more than water resistant, they are waterproof. We have about 25,000 miles of actual touring on some of our Ortlieb panniers.
Our entire family use Orlieb Panniers, bar bags, and rack packs. I think you will be happy with them.
