I'm looking for a small, lightweight pannier for commuting. I have no problems fitting the stuff I want to take into a trunk bag of about 600 cu in, but I don't like the trunk bag. I'd rather have the weight lower. I'd like a pannier about the same size or a pinch larger, and about the same weight (~1 lb.). It seems like most of the panniers out there are about twice the volume and twice the weight.

So far, I've found the Seattle Sports Fast Pack at 18 oz and 750 cu in - not too bad. Any other ideas?

Thanks!
