Looking at large size saddle bag, this seems substantially cheaper than many other competitor? (at least those widely available in Europe).

I haven’t used that one, but from the design I would be surprised if it doesn’t sway like crazy while climbing.
Check if it’s waterproof. It should explicitly say. If it’s not, consider this bag only id you know 100% sure you’re never riding in wet conditions. Not only rain, but also mud and puddles etc – you don’t want your dry clothes for the night get wet.
Hey man, maybe I can recomend you the Zefal 17L saddlebag, it doesn’t swing much which is surprising given it’s size, and it is waterproof. The fabric is quite rigid which is nice for packing
Commenting to follow as I am also looking for a saddle bag and haven’t decided on the brand yet ! Currently looking at Ortlieb, Vaude and Deuter.
I also love the design of Atelier Velocidad – plus it is handmade in France with local fabric, but the largest saddlebag is only 12L.
I compared some options earlier today, and they are two saddle bag on deuter’s website – the other one (Cabezon) comes with a harness and explicitly says it is waterproof. Price is also significantly higher.
Hence I am guessing the one you spotted (Mondego) is likely not waterproof.
These bags are so huge. I can’t imagine how unsteady they must feel.
