Overall I like it. But it will last less than a day, so you'll have to figure out how to charge it in the wild.
Cool setup! I particularly like the Scoop Away Panniers. I've often thought about hard-case panniers instead of the usual soft ones to better protect my stuff, keep it dry, etc. How do you like them?
You're right. I forgot to mention how the Garmin Tour leaves you cold when you're doing turn by turn. I'm not sure if it's related to "avoids" in the setup or if it's just an unpleasant feature.
I love my Scoop Away Panniers. I have about 3,000 miles on them and they do keep everything dry and protected. Plus they double as a camp seat and table. But K.L. Panniers have been discussed in other threads so...
