I would advise against this purchase.
one strap is twisted as a result of an assembly quality problem at the factory and an apparent lack of quality control. Mounted as far back as possible on a Tubus disco luggage rack, the rider's heels rub so well positioned as with a Specialized bike + luggage rack. What's more, the manufacturer has added accessory holders to the front of the pannier that are in fact unusable. In short, a product tested in an office or by uncritical sponsored cyclists.
Pros & Cons

everything stays dry, but carrying strap sits awkwardly
They are definitely good panniers, which can hold a lot more than you initially think. All your clothes really do stay dry (several showers through already) and the click system to attach your bags is very pleasant. With bumps, you are not afraid of losing your bags. The only drawback I find is the carrying straps. they have to be fastened under the bag to make it waterproof or you can't attach them one and click the corners together. When shopping, I actually find the carry straps handy, but they don't sit conveniently. I would have preferred a separate carry strap at the location of the suspension system or something, at least not that it had to be attached at the very bottom.

Great quality product
These panniers are very well made and seem to be very robust, I haven't been able to test them in the wet, but I am confident that they will keep my kit dry. The only downside I would say is the lack of external waterproof pockets.

Excellent quality, large size and very useful bags.
I bought this bag set for a trip with my bike, bought it last minute and was afraid it wouldn't arrive in time. Contacted customer service and they were very helpful and quick to reply. Bags arrived in time after all, great, well made, really handy, fits a lot of stuff more than any other bags I could find. My companion has an older set from this brand what are still in great condition and have lasted many trips, these are bigger than that standard size. If the size is too big for what you're carrying you can pull the sides with a strap to make it more secure / smaller.

Very satisfied with it
Pleasant, spacious panniers. Size is adjustable in height and width by roller system and straps on the side. Easy to mount on carriers. Handy front pocket where you can quickly put extra stuff.

Ingenious foldable bags that fit any carrier.
I put the 2 bags on my small carrier. First over the rubber stops, but that made the clamping system very stiff and I was afraid it would break. Then put the clamps closer together, in 15 cm spacing and that's better. There is 1 mm clearance between the clamps and the luggage carrier tube. I had first pushed the wrong padding ring into the clamp with my finger. This one was easy to push out again with a screwdriver. The bags are small in principle, but fold out when you fill them. Without luggage, they are something like 40 x 30 x 10 cm (from memory).

Top product!
I really like these panniers. You can easily mount them on the bicycle (a different attachment piece for each handlebar, so it is really firmly attached). When empty, the bags are quite compact and take up little space. A lot really fits in the panniers, a huge difference from 'standard' panniers. I no longer have to think about whether everything will fit when shopping. I have used the panniers before for a cycling holiday, they hold plenty and the separate compartment is ideal for a water bottle, cap or the like. Sturdy quality. For weekly shopping and cycling holidays really recommended.

Spacious, easy-to-fasten panniers
Generous luggage rack panniers with very many adjustment options. Thanks to the ingenious sliding system, the bags can be adjusted to fit different racks so they do not shift and, with the hook on the inside, also do not flap on unpaved roads. Lots of volume and can be reduced with straps when the bags are not fully filled. Front pockets are not waterproof, but good addition for e.g. chain lock or lunch.

Top bags
Super happy with these bags. I had the PVC variant 78L. Very stiff I find these a bit nicer and smoother. More luxurious look. And I also have the 40L version. Super happy with it.

Great look and feel
The Ortlieb Back Roller Pro Plus are not only very practical bike travel bags as usual, but now also very chic and with a good feel, the Rolls-Royce among functional bags!
