They seem pretty pricey but I'm ok with spending the money if its not likely to get stolen.
I bike around Central Austin.
Any brands you recommend?
Thank you
In all my years of riding I've never had a saddle or pannier bag stolen. Granted right now I am also using my pannier and top bag as shopping bags i.e. I hang my pannier bags over the side of the shopping cart and fill them up as I'm shopping so there's little chance of them getting stolen.
As far as my saddle bag goes it stays on my bike and has as I've said never been stolen, nor has the contents ever been rifled.
