My biggest concern/complaint with this TYPE of saddle bag is the zipper.
Unless a bag is stuffed full the zipper cover flips up and the zipper is
exposed. I just caught one bag on a branch yesterday and it popped the
zipper open. Not to mention it could very well allow rain in. The plus
to these particular bags is the fabric is very strong, the bags are
really roomy without being too unwieldy, the cantle bag is big enough
for a bedroll inside, and the saddle bags have sufficient snaps to strap
to the side of the saddle to minimize bounce. I just wish we could've
bought the same bags with a flap or snaps instead of zippers.
