You did not say if you are getting the City version or the regular (more expensive) version.

The regular ones have a strap over the top. I often store rain gear on top of the front panniers held on with that strap. And that strap is used on the back if you get the 31 liter duffle to hold the duffle (I think they call it a rack pack) to the tops of the panniers.

A friend of mine has the City version, which is lighter. He is happy with them. I think the City version lacks the shoulder strap too, but I am not sure.

Mine are the regular ones in photo below, now about a decade old.
