Nice bags but don't seem to have bags specifically for porteur racks (bar bags are a different proposition to porteur rack).
What I'd be look for:
bags designed for common front racks (Wald basket, Pelago rack, Specialized pizza rack)
means of securing it to front rack (preference would be for not requiring a basket)
top loading so you can readily access contents whilst on the bike
waterproof (guess this goes without saying but doesn't hurt to reiterate)
Nice to haves
ability to take it off the rack so you can transition from bike to foot (not such an issue for touring but v helpful for everyday use). Alternative is you have a liner bag which can be pulled out
If whole bag can be taken off, would be good to have some optional straps and fixtures so you could carry it over your shoulder
pockets so you can pull items out without opening the main enclosure
Any other suggestions?
