Hi CC. You know, I thought about them as well. I saw them at the store that I bought the Cartiers. They looked good, but I think they were a little small for me. I'd say just look at the cubic dimensions of the bags and go from there. From a quality/functionality standpoint, I almost bought them, so I think they looked pretty good on that account.

It's odd, I think that the volume measurements on the web site, for the appalachian, the volume is listed total, because they are a single unit that saddle bags over the back. For the rest though, the volume is listed per bag, because they are technically separated and usable singly. I could be wrong, but lemme know what you do and how they work for you.

Regards,

Sam
