The Revelate saddlebags are smaller than the Camper, which is 23L, but also lighter because they are made from nylon rather than cotton duck. But the Carradice saddlebags better bits of luggage, IMHO because the big flap and opening lets you get at stuff easier. The bikepacking design is better if you are going off road though. If you are using panniers up front a Nelson Longflap (15L) will probably be plenty large.
