Their medium saddlebag is fantastic, expands if necessary, and is extremely well made. I have 3 of them.

You beat me to it! I saw your post and thought, hmm I didn't get the email this time? Then, I checked my inbox and there it was.
BTW, the bags are due Thursday 12/7.

And to be more specific, 9am PST. Their top models sell out in less than a day.

I don't know if it needs to be said, or if just for a thread bump-
But Acorn bags are fantastic. I've got 2 front bags and one saddle bag. My old front bag is one of my very favorite cycling possessions.

Great bags! I've used them for years, having extensively used Tool rolls, Mini/Medium/Large Saddle Bags, Small Handlebar and Medium/Tall Rando bags.
Their designs change over the years mostly for the better so look closely at the pictures and descriptions if you're familiar with older iterations.
I was pleasantly surprised to see they have reverted back to the older design of the Mini Saddle Bag so it now closes with a leather strap instead of a metal scovill turn button.
This change is very good as it uses an expandable collar again so you can overstuff it. Also like that it now has a leather Blinky strap.

Trick question.
Everybody knows that you'll eat most of the huckleberry pie, and at most you'll need to store a slice or two.

Yeah! Got me another medium saddlebag, since I seem to always be moving them around from bike to bike. Also purchased a tool roll bag.

Darn Gugie, medium saddle bag and compact handlebar bag on the way. Gee, after jettisoning some bags a couple months back. Every bike must have its own bag, and with sufficient capacity for huckleberry pie!

I've tried half a dozen times now to order a medium saddle bag. They are still in stock as of 10:10. I have typed in the payment and shipping info half a dozen times and every time I get some sort of a system error message inserted on the same page I have just been typing on. I even restarted my router. No luck.
Everything I hear says they make great products and I hope you all enjoy yours. Apparently, however, they do not want to take my money and I am not going to waste more time trying to get them to do so.

FWIW, I was using Google (my usual browser). Based on your suggestion, I tried Firefox (my wife's usual) and got the same result.

Okay, I had to try one more time. I had been using my credit card - no dice. This time, I tried PayPal. For reasons known only to the Almighty, it worked. (My wife doesn't know it yet, but she got it for me for Christmas.)
Technology is weird.
Edit: I just had the exact same thing happen trying to make another on-line purchase (not bike related, believe it or not). Try to pay with a credit card - no dice. Try again with PayPal - easy peasy. Technology during the Christmas season is even weirder than usual.

I ordered yet another small saddle bag from Acorn. The size is excellent for my reasonably short but frequent rides and the bags are very well-made.
