Maybe you mean these?

I knew a bright guy named Glen Brown who built plastic bicycle fairings in the late 70's /80's. They were really fun to use and they kept you warm in the winter. He also came up with an aerodynamic pannier with internal pockets. He called it the "Tailwind". Since the Specialized Pannier in the picture has the same name and shape I'm wondering if Glen sold his idea to Specialized.
