A good way to sizing panniers is to first gather up all your touring gear, weighing it as you accumulate it. Get a cardboard carton of a suitable size and shape and fit the gear in it. Then measure the volume all that stuff occupied. Your panniers should be that size plus a wee bit more. A handlebar bag will accommodate a bit of overflow.
