BIKEPACKING BAG COMPARISON - Which is better a saddlebag or rack-top bag and panniers??

I answer the classic question. Which is better, Bikepacking bags vs. a classic setup. I test out both in the January cold of Minnesota by cycling across a frozen lake! Both have their pro's and con's and I go through both systems thoroughly to help you make a decision on which route to follow.
