My Saddlesack XS just arrived Monday and I can tell you it's nice! There has been a design change since the photos on the Riv site were taken... the flap of the SS-XS no longer has the brass-twist closures. It now has a double-ended zipper and a light loop on the flap just like the NS. (visualize a green canvas NS with a leather flap and reflective strip) Functionally, I think they're now pretty much identical and suppose your choice will come down to material preference.
