Everything I expected...
A great, sturdy product with a nice finish. Lots of cargo space and not much more to say beyond that it's everything I wanted in luggage.

Excellent capacity and quality. Shoulder straps! Slightly awkawrd bungee straps.
These were practically the only saddlebag I found in their price range that had this kind of storage capacity. I bought them to replace some ~25 L bags that were simply too small for a big trip. I was very pleased with them.
Another big advantage over my old bags is that they have multiple pockets: there are extra pouches on the side that don't eat into the main compartment at all. Great for storing snacks, rain covers, tools, and other quick-access stuff.
They are expandable for when you don't need quite all that space, which is a nice feature (I'd have been fine simply having big bags, but hey, expandable is nice).
They come with shoulder straps, which is a huge plus. Pretty easy to carry one on each shoulder for a block or two.
My only complaint is the kind of weird bungee-based system for securing them to the bike. Other bags I've seen use little tie-on straps to tie onto the chassis, but these come with bungees that they want you to pass through the chassis. I found it a little awkward on my bike in particular. But once I figured it out, they were pretty secure on a 10 hour ride.
One other comment: they come with mysterious hard-plastic inside, and no instructions. I finally figured out that this plastic fits (with some effort) into the ribs of the bag and gives it a firm shape.
