According to the product specialist

Pros
The FrontLoader is fully waterproof, so your stuff always stays dry in bad weather.
This handlebar bag is easy to attach and remove with the quick-release buckles.
With the built-in air release button you can remove the air from the luggage roller, so that the roller remains compact.
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.
The AGU Frame Pack is made of recycled water-repellent polyester.
The large opening makes it easy to transport long items.
As the frame bag is available in 2 different sizes, you can select the one which is most suitable for your cycling plans.
As this product is made of 100% recycled polyester it has AGU's Greensphere label.
Great for heavier gear.
Cons
The FrontLoader can only be opened from the sides.
After long and frequent use Velcro loses its effectiveness.
This bag needs at least 12 centimetres of mounting space on the seatpost.
With a small frame size, the Frame pack may not fit. So always measure the space in your frame first!
If your bike has a small frame size, you may not be able to take your water bottles out of their cages easily due to the bag being in the way.
