I've done my measurements and a 20l ortlieb pannier bag would fit quite nice in a wald 139 basket.
Purpose built basket bags are expensive and unavailable! Which I do understand, they are a niche, but given that a good large basket bag would be £200+ and this pannier bag already in my possession, is seems too good to be true??
Naysayers please convince me otherwise.

Go for it
Military tool bags also fit a wald basket very well
I’m not stopping you thats for sure. If it holds stuff securely, it’s good with me
It’s heavy and bulky. Why not use a waterproof dry bag and strap it in with a voile strap or bungy?
Worst case it seems a pannier would be overbuilt and needless weight being placed in a basket. If it works for you and you want to do it, do it.
Any reason why you wouldn’t use a 20L dry bag instead?
Did it with my wald and nitto rack. Didn’t notice a difference from my bxb bag, I say go for it. U lose points from aesthetic social media folk but it’s practical since you already have a wp bag
Hell chuck your stuff in shopping bags and throw a net over it in the basket. Baskets are awesome! I got one of the fancy custom basket bags and love it. Mice use off the bike as well. Not needed though.
