Default Soft Pannier Recommendations

Hi i'm in search of some panniers for when i need to go on a 4 week course in August, already got a tank bag and i'm going to get one of these to strap to the rear seat. But i'm also looking at getting a decent set of expandable pannier to put on as well. Anyone got any recommendations don't really want to spend more than £60-70 for a set. Plus they need to be fairly large when expanded 48ltrs +.
Thanks

I've got some buffalo sport ones that seem to be able to expand enough to get all my kit into.
I also use a kreiga tail pack.

They'll do for what you want. Bin liner will add an extra layer of protection against the weather

Saw them but can't get anything till next month need to save my money for a trip to france in a few weeks. Not sure if the Buffalo sports would be big enough, although the do have a touring version which is 63 litres i think

I got some Oxford ones from Busters nice and cheap, although they are prob the same size as the buffalo ones Rob.

The latest ones from Oxford got 'Ride' magazines recommended tag. Mine weren't, the latest model, but they'll do

Busters had an offer on luggage recently

Oxford ones with the clear plastic storm covers to make the waterproof are rubbish. The covers inflate and shred. Far better to acept your stuff might get wet in them and place everything in plastic bags

Was going to get some heavy duty clear plastic bags from work and put everything in them before putting them in the panniers that way i don't have to mess around with the waterproof covers.

We have a pair of Oxfords, we just put everything in heavy duty binbags like Rob suggested. I think you'll have a hard time finding waterproof soft ones.
