According to the product specialist

Pros
The Explorer EXP saddle bag is made of a waterproof material to keep the contents dry.
An extra luggage net on the top is ideal for storing a rain jacket or wind vest, for example.
The vent valve allows you to compress the bag exactly to the right capacity.
Reflective elements increase your visibility in traffic.
The mudguard can be fitted to the saddle bag quickly and without tools.
The compression straps on the side allow you to minimise the size of the BackLoader.
With the air release button you can easily let excess air out of the bag.
In the waterproof inner bag (dry bag) the contents of the BackLoader remain absolutely dry.
With the compression straps you can easily adjust the fit of this bikepacking bag.
Use the valve to let the air out of the bag for a more compact fit.
The waterproof fabric with roll closures makes the bag fully waterproof.
The elastic drawstrings on the top offer additional storage space for a jacket or vest that you have taken off on the way.
Can be mounted to carbon seatposts.
Cons
Velcro becomes less effective over time if too much dirt gets into it.
After long and frequent use Velcro loses its effectiveness.
This bag needs at least 12 centimetres of mounting space on the seatpost.
The Seat Pack M/L requires at least 6/15 centimetres of mounting space on the seatpost.
This saddlebag is unfortunately not suitable for all aero seatposts.
