I have seen pics of square 5 gallon buckets being used as panniers.
What are the thoughts on using them?
When would they be better then soft panniers?
And also does anyone have plans for making them?

Thanks for the tips

Buckets work out great for picking up trash on the trails too. Reduces the need to wash them after a coulple trash hikes up the local trails.
