What's the view on panniers vs a saddle bag? I overpack panniers with what feels like random crap, but then it turns out I need long-legged trousers or something that I wouldn't have otherwise taken. Will a saddle bag force me to rationalise? Are any big enough for longish tours? Or should I just stick with the panniers and carry what my legs will take?
(for explanation - had lots of knee surgery and so am not sure I can lug what I used to be able to lug quite as easily)
