Carradice saddlebag sizes

[RMurphy195]

On the Carradice site,do the dimensions mentioned for bags with side pockets refer to the overall width including the side pockets, or just the central bit?

Silly question I know, but deciding which one to go for, and will my 35cm long pump fit inside or will I just need to strap it to the top!

I have the long flap version of one of their bags, 350 mm is just about possible.

I guess it would be the Nelson, Camper, or Lowsaddle?

Carradice have been kind enough to email me the following information
"The dimensions are just for the main body of the bag excluding the pockets. The capacity in litres does include the pockets though"

The Nelson, I knew it was a village in Lancashire. Town, even.

Finally bought a Nelson Longflap (and the "classic" carrier) - it looks rather big, and I'm going to have to re-learn how to get on the bike with it fitted! Thanks all for your input.

The first few times you get out of the saddle, the tail wags the dog.

I'm one of those sad people that like to remain seated and just twirl the pedals round-and-round in a low gear on hills!
