Jobst must've made the kind of money to permit buying a range of bags in order to provide such criticism.
My Nelson Longflap was on my Rambouillet for a ride across the country and has been on the back of my daily commuter for eleven years straight since. I have had the occasion to end up with some thing to take home that was best accounted for by the deployed long flap and its second straps. When used on my light touring trips it gives me a quick place to secure things without having to empty the bag and repack to accommodate. I can only project that if Brandt had no appreciation of the contingent good the long flap of the Longflap offers that he would be similarly unappreciative of the significant good that properly fit fenders provide when things become wet, muddy, or somewhere in between.
