Just a note, Carradice makes a Nelson saddlebag and the larger Camper saddlebag, both also come in a "longflap" version which is useful as it gives the option to greatly expand the volume if you need to carry something extra. I use a Camper Longflap and will often deploy the longflap to carry food/beer from a market to a campsite.
