Yes, that was an Acorn saddlebag, but not at all new. In fact, it is Generation One from Acorn. I have divested myself of nearly all of my Acorn stuff, much preferring these days the Keven's V-Brand saddlebags. The Swift Industries stuff is First Rate. I recommend their products very highly. The primary advantage with the Swift stuff over the RBW V-brand Panniers is that they are two separate bags as opposed to two bags joined together, which makes for more versatility in packing and not having to worry over balancing a load, etc.

No, I didn't. I remember looking at it and wondering what it was, but my attention was more focused on the new brown Acorn medium saddlebag you had. That's what it was, right? :-) Bags are another love of mine...
