I thought I was going to have to wait until warmer weather to test the water-proof-ness of the panniers but I was wrong...I could use the shower! I filled the pannier with fabric, closed it, and put it under the cold shower.
I adjusted the water flow to simulate a reasonably heavy rain, and left it there for a few minutes. The inside was dry! Under an extended heavy rain the inside may get a little damp, but this treatment is just water resistant, not fully water proof.

I did notice the slightly rancid-oil smell from the linseed oil did seep into the fabric I had inside. Hopefully the smell will decrease with use and exposure.
