If you're bikepacking off-road, this is a highly reliable handlebar bag. Since you can compress your luggage tightly, the bag won't sway much when you're out of the saddle or descending. I think you'll notice the difference particularly with MTBs and gravel bikes.

Personally, the air release valve is incredibly convenient. You can compress sleeping bags and clothing effectively, making for neat packing. It also has high waterproof performance, making it easy to use regardless of the weather, so I highly recommend it for those planning a "serious riding trip."
