I love the large Saddleack, Erl. So easy to pack, strap tent et al on top, and still access everything. When I add panniers for longer and/or colder trips, I'll stuff the least frequently used items in them as they are the most challenging to both access and remember what is where. WIth the

I'll second Deacon's comment regarding how easy it is to deal with. When you strap a tent + pad with the loops, you can still flip the bag open and access everything inside. And because it's wider than taller, most things are REALLY accessible without disturbing the pack. And, like discussed

I sometimes wonder if I should hit you guys with another outing's photos. In the winter, I feel the same constraint. When people are discussing snowfall, studded tires and extreme clothing, I hold off talking about rides where I have to wear a windbreaker over a wool jersey, req'd once the
