In the local beer store and outside it starts pouring ? You forgot to install you fenders didn't you ? Heres what I did instead of having a skunk tail on the bike ride to my beer buddies house. (Who wants that on their couch ?=P )

These are just stiff enough to stay and keep grime off your rump without needing a knife or tool to fashion for the 2nd wet half of your beer run.  Really ,any box will do .  This UPS box flap is nice cause its glossy on 1 side, giving you a few more minutes of water resistance =).
