The only saddlebag I have is a small Jannd capable of carrying two tubes, a patch kit, small tire irons, and a cell phone. My preference is a lightweight handlebar bag supported by cables from the brake hoods, not one of the newfangled models using a rigid support from the handlebar or stem. Tough Traveler used to make a very nice one but alas they do so no longer. Dill Pickle Gear (Emily O'brien's operation) makes an awesome bag, a bit steep and marginally large enough to hold all the lunch stuff my sweetie gives me when I commute, but superbly designed and made. So I have several.
