First of all I should explain that when it comes to rain.............., I'm a puss! I think rainy days are for reading, vacuuming floors, paying bills and sitting on the back porch petting any one of the cats that hangs around to be fed while watching the river level change and, with higher water levels, watching things float by that used to belong to upstream neighbors. So this idea sorta fits in with that type of 'laid-back' lifestyle. This pannier rain cover idea came to me one day I was just playing around with an 'any port in a storm' mindset. But, the fun side of that play actually had a valuable result. We've all seen the sleek 'helmet-condoms', and other snap-on rain caps that are tailored to a specific clothing brand, but the notion that an extra pannier bag cover could quickly be installed for rain/sun protection seems valid. My Bell Citi Bike helmet featured 2 'braze-on' type 5mm threaded inserts on the rear of the helmet (actually within the molded foam padding). So when I noticed the 2 metal eyelet 'weep holes' on the bottom of my Axiom Large Pannier Rain Cover that just so happen to have a compatible hole pattern spacing with that of the helmet, the rest became history. Grommets in the 2 cover holes would be best but I simply used rubber washers to pinch the eyelet to the helmet. That left enough extra cover in the back to form a drip overhang that sheds water outside jacket collars. The cover front was pulled forward and around that funky wicker-bill sun ...
