I purchase a set of Bagman Saddlebags this spring.  Here is my list of
good and bad points:

GOOD 	- lots of room
	- comes with a water repellant rain cover
	- good strong zippers with overlapping material
	- easy to mount and remove (2 clamps that can be left on
	permanently and one velcro strap with hooks)
	- good handles for carrying when off the bike

BAD	- very difficult to adjust height initially (but never
	has to be changed)
	- hooks on velcro strap may scratch your bike, but this can by
	cured by simply putting a piece of chamois under it when
	mounting
	- zippers are not rodent proof (squirrels, gophers etc. seem to
	enjoy chewing on them, and will go the great lengths, such as
	jumping from a rafter onto the top of the bag that is hanging
	by a rope, to sink their teeth in)

In general, I'm very pleased with them, and find them quite satisfactory
for my needs.
