I think you can add EBC own brand panniers to the totally waterproof list; they did a wonderfull job
of keeping in the milk from a squashed container...

Their waterproof models are made for them by Vau De.

Just get a rack and a wire frame basket or something of that sort. attach the rack and bungee the basket or box onto the rack put your back pack in the rack. or forget the basket all together, and jsut bungee the backpack on to the rack. Easy, simple, and cheaper than panniers. jsut be carefull not to get any straps stuck in your spokes.
