The one voice of dissent-

Sorry. I got the Arkels for my tour last summer, and I had a difficult time with keeping them on my bike. After a few days, I noticed that when I would hit bigger bumps, the bags would fall off. I would have to quickly pull over and run back to get my bags before they got run over in traffic. I ended up bungee cording the bags to the racks once I'd secured the bags on the racks.

I do believe the design of the bags are pretty good, however my experience with Arkel was not satisfactory enough to recommend it. I'm going with the Ortliebs for my next tour.
