I've used both of these bags and I must say they offer amazing value for the dollar. The large bag has TONS of space. I used it on a 100mi dirt century and it worked great on my drop bar bike, albeit with one flaw: it's too heavy to support itself, so it rotates to hang downward instead of straight out. So, I used a garmin mount turned downwards and zip tied the whole thing to it to hold it in place, and that worked great, although it was a little clunky. The extra storage space allows you to get everything off your back. You can put two tubes on either side, and a ridiculous amount of food or clothes inside the main compartment. I put 8 big protein bars as well as a bag of trail mix inside, and when the day started to warm up, I put my jacket inside after eating some of the bars, so it worked out nicely. For epic rides where you're carring 4 tubes or more, it's nice to have the pockets on the side for extra tubes and tools.

The small size bag I found really useful for holding food during long rides. It's nice to be able to grab food directly from it while riding, as opposed to having it in your back pockets or in a saddle bag. I managed to stuff a quart-sized bag of trail mix along with 10 honey stinger waffles inside it, and the waffles were great because the opening is hardly big enough to fit anything but a small, thin thing like a waffle through it. You won't actually be able to carry a burrito in this burrito-shaped bag, simply because the opening isn't very wide. However it would be great for carrying extra tubes, food, or a windbreaker along with other stuff. It's nice that it has a plastic insert to give it some structure, although this might cause rattling if you put hard things inside it. It's the perfect size to fit between drop bars or on MTB bars, and it doesn't swing or make a bunch of noise. In the end, I actually prefer the small bag over the large bag. For the price, you can't really go wrong with either.

PROS: Lightweight, Easy to Use, Versatile, Inexpensive, High quality, Durable

CONS: Large Bag Swings Around, Small Bag Opening Narrow

BEST USES: Road Bikes, Commuting, Long Rides, Mountain Bikes

Installs easily, nice size, well made. I would choose something else for adventure or touring bike but works great on my daily commuter. Shift and brake cables need to be tucked up tight to bars or this bag will not fit well.

I've been using my medium bag for a year and a half now and am quite pleased with it. For one, I open and close the main bag's zippers quite a bit because I'm fishing my camera out all the time, and they have given me zero problems. Also, I've ridden in the rain at least half a dozen times-- an hour or more each time-- and my stuff isn't getting wet.

We love the Banjo Brothers handlebar bags. My wife likes the compactness of the smaller bag on her 2014 Giant & l appreciate the versatility of the larger bag on my 1997 Specialized with it's extra pocket & map window. They're both water resistant and look great!

Gets the job done. The liner inside that keeps the cylinder shape is nice
