I am a big fan of these bags. If you think you might have a reason to take them on and off frequently on the trip, I would say look elsewhere. If you need huge amounts of room, or like lots of different pockets and dividers and such, don't get 'em. If you get bad luck and it rains hours on end every day, these may eventually let in some moisture. Hasn't happened to me yet, though. Otherwise, in my opinion, they would work just fine. And even if you think you would need to remove them, you may get around that by simply using a grocery sack or similar. These are tough and well-made and fun and simple to use. I have not done multiple nights with them, but only because I have not gone on a multiple night tour since I've had them (three or four years?). I like them so much I got a second pair, and the first pair was a splurge. Somewhere it is written that some colors are heavier/stiffer than others. True. My gray ones are more supple than the blue. I think olive is the other tough color, and brown is more like the gray.
I have used my Baggins as a handlebar bag. Works great!
