Good bags for cycling to work

This set of cases is used on a racing bike with a Topeak Super Tourist DX luggage rack for disc brakes. I commute 10 miles to and from work every day and need double zip waterproof bags that I can seal. Material and zips appear to be waterproof but have not been tested due to lack of rain. The bags easily attach to the rack with two metal clips that can be bent to attach to the rack. A simple strap/click attaches the bag to the bottom of the luggage rack. Haven't used a top bag (backpack) yet - I only use it when I have to lug a lot of stuff, like groceries. The panniers could have a little more capacity, but they are enough for the small backpack I carry to and from work. The black material heats up in the sun, but this is an advantage in the winter months. I'm not sure how the material will hold up in freezing weather with snow, ice and road salt. All saddlebags must be designed so that you can securely attach them to your bike to prevent theft. The only practical way to attach these baskets to the rack is to run a small diameter cable through the zipper and/or bend the metal mounting hooks tightly around the rack - both of which I've done. Zippers sometimes get stuck when opening/closing (like most zippers), but this can be fixed. Overall, this product has lived up to my expectations and I hope it will be durable enough to withstand years of everyday use. Update (1/21/20) - After only 5 months of (daily) commuting, both main zippers have failed (split) and the teeth are bent beyond repair. Also, over time, the seams have unraveled, causing the smaller side pockets to start separating from the main compartment of the bag. One of the rivets had come loose from the padding, causing the front of the bag to sag. Disappointed with quality and durability. I recommend avoiding this product. The bags were in such bad condition and beyond repair that I just threw them in the trash. Rating changed from 4 stars to 2. Good design but very poor quality.
