Gonna have to disagree. I find bikepacking bags to be a bit of a pain when it comes to organization. Stuff fits in them in odd places and there are lots of nooks and crannies where something fits but is unrelated to the other stuff in the bags. For example, my stove fits in one bag but my fuel canister fits in another. Panniers are much easier to organize by purpose. Bike packing bags, not so much. I’ve done several backcountry bikepacking trips and I’ve yet to repeat a bag configuration/organization plan.
