As beautiful as my oxblood rogue is, I have yet to use it. Even when I plan to carry it I switch into my mineral whiplash saddle bag last minute. I'm trying to figure out why I keep avoiding it. I realllly love my saddle bag because it's a beautiful color, lightweight, and so easy to carry. If I didn't have my 2 new saddle bags I definitely would have carried the rogue by now. Oxblood feels like a very fall/winter color too which I think is why I've been carrying colors that feel a bit more "springy".
I also have the black python rogue due to arrive tomorrow. I need to make up my mind soon. I need to make sure I truly love the rogue design to justify owning 2.
I was initially trying to decide between mineral and oxblood. I chose mineral because I knew that I would not carry the oxblood during the warmer months. It just seems more fall/ winter. However, I'd carry the oxblood saddle year round so I guess, for me, it depends on the style of the bag. I definitely plan to get a bag in the color later in the year. Of your two rogues, I would keep the python. It's tdf!!!!

Well, I'm in the minority here because I don't think it's all that heavy. Obviously there is weight to it, but not to an extent that I even notice it. I haven't moved out of mine since the day I got it. I slip my phone in the outside pocket and any notes or grocery list, etc....otherwise what I carry fits great in the main compartment. Good luck on deciding. ☺
I feel the same. After reading the post, I walked around with mine and honestly didn't think it was that heavy. Seems we put the same things in the outside pockets...
