Hey Forrest,
Did you ever go camping with the Medium? If so, was it big enough? If
you fill it up, does it sag enough to require support, rack or bagman
or similar? The Medium looks like the perfect size for commuting, but
a bit small for S24Os. Would you say that's so? It'd be great to buy
one bag that would do it all, but I'm thinking the Medium might be
stretching it for camping.
From the capacities listed on the Riv site it looks to me like the
Sackville Large (bulged a bit, ~2,034 in3 including the pocket)
approaches the volume of two Ortleib Back Rollers (~2441 in3). The
Back Rollers worked well for me along with carrying my tent and
sleeping pad in a medium Wald basket up front. <http://www.flickr.com/photos/robharrison/4940395316/in/set-72157624837312162/

Ken -- I can't speak to the cost difference . . . maybe the labor?
Quality of materials? Currency exchange rates? I also couldn't say
that the Sackville is "so much better" than the Zimbale and Carradice,
but it is darned good. I don't think I've ever seen a sturdier,
better-
loooking, or better-built bag than the Sackville. -- Forrest

Why is it so much better than a Carradice or Zimbale of similar
size? Those
are a lot cheaper - even at this price.

Seriously? Nobody went for $140?! If I didn't have two already, I
would now!
This bag is the best summer saddlebag imaginable!
(SaddleSack Large is the winter winner.)
