I’ve been looking at these two panniers from Arkel ([Signature H](https://arkel.ca/collections/commuter/products/signature-h-urban-pannier?variant=43786946642169) vs [Signature V](https://arkel.ca/collections/commuter/products/signature-v-urban-pannier?variant=43742220288249)) and am having trouble deciding on which one would suit me better. I commute about 5 miles to work and carry a laptop, lunch, and clothes with me. I would also like to use this for other errands like groceries so space is important to me. Based on volume, the Signature V makes the most sense on paper but I’ve read that the narrow opening can be a bit of a pain to load and unload. The volume of the Signature H would probably work just fine but I’ve also read that there could be some heal catch since it does stick off the bike further than the V does. I don’t have physical access to these panniers so any opinions or experience with these would be appreciated! Thanks!

My wife and I were in the same situation. We got one of each! For me the H *was* in the way of my heel and I quickly claimed the V. She’s had no problems and likes the H.
