Default What's the difference between these two pairs of saddlebags?

Tourmaster Nylon Slant Saddlebag

Cortech Tribag

Tourmaster and Cortech are the "same" company. I was going to get the tribag system on ebay or someplace, because I didn't want to spend that much on a new one but I heard great things about them. Then I saw that Tourmaster has bags too, for half the price. I'm wondering what the big difference is that causes the price disparity. I have a tourmaster jacket and cortech pants that I am very happy with, I imagine the cheaper Tourmaster bags should do the job just as well as the Cortech ones. Anyone have experience with either of these saddlebags?

first i'de say that that price of the tourmaster is for the medium which is about half the volume of the cortech. the extra large is about the same and its 120$ to the cortechs 160$

the tourmaster also have no mention of heatshielding ont he bottom of the bag to about tailpipe burns.

those two things probably sum up most of the difference in cost.

It seems like the cortech is a nicer bag to me. I've not seen either one of those bags. i guess it would depend on how much stuff the wife would want to bring.
