According to the product specialist

Pros
With a total capacity of 40 litres, the Ortlieb Back-Roller City offers plenty of storage space for all your daily gear.
The Back-Roller City bike bag is made of waterproof polyester and has a roll closure for protection against rain.
The Quick-Lock mounting system ensures a secure and shockproof attachment.
Easy to attach to the bike due to the Quick-Lock 2.1 attachment system.
5-year Ortlieb warranty.
Ortlieb Front Roller Classic is waterproof.
Can be used as a messenger bag with the included shoulder strap.
The bags can be attached to the front wheel using a lowrider or on the luggage carrier on the rear.
The Aqua Front 2017 can be fitted to both the front and rear luggage rack.
The 2 included shoulder straps make this pannier ideal to use off the bike as well.
The bags are waterproof and fitted with theft protection.
Both panniers can be used as messenger bags because of the 2 included shoulder straps.
The bags are 100% PVC-free and have no detrimental effects on your health.
Cons
The Ortlieb Back-Roller City does not come with a shoulder strap.
Roll-up closure requires more work than a zip or flap.
The bags aren't compatible with e-bikes when placed on the rear.
Distribute the load evenly over your bike for optimal stability.
Opening and closing the roll-up closure system takes a little more doing than a zipper or a flap.
