A  few years ago in South America, I first saw many Europeans bikepacking with these waterproof saddle bags.

I bought a set for myself in Canada.  In yellow.

Famed for their durability, the warranty is 5 years.

On the other hand, one of the accessory shoulder straps ripped off the first time I picked up the bag loaded.

Most people don’t use the shoulder straps, anway. I won’t. Instead I’ll use the very sturdy built-in handle

They are expensive. I paid CDN $240 for my first set of two.  A little less for my second set.

For Europe 2023 I wanted to carry a lot of gear for months. 4 x 40 litre bags = 160 litres. A LOT.

Don’t worry. I have an excellent system for adding even more on top the back. 😀

It’s easy to loose the clip that connects the saddle bag to the pannier rack IF you forget to tighten it up. I lost two over the years.

In Italy I decided to purchase 2 new bags (red) and use them on the back with heavier loads. Put the old yellow on the front with lighter loads.
