Decided between panniers and a backpack for my 8-mile commute

I was going back and forth between Ortlieb panniers and just using my old backpack for biking to work. After a week of sweating through my shirt with the backpack, I bought the panniers and a cheap rack off Amazon for $80 total. Way better for my back and I can carry a change of clothes without getting nasty. Anyone else switch away from backpacks and find it worth the money?

Man that sweaty back struggle is real, glad the panniers worked out for you.

@roberts.troy worth every penny for a dry back.
