Default 2 pocket vs 3 pocket

Hey all looking for some input as to what everybody likes or dislikes about 2 pouch and 3 pouch windshield bags. Debating on which way to go for my UC . Does anyone have any problems with fit that has the speaker pods? Thanks in advance all.

I have the 3 pocket pouch and almost wish I had the two pocket pouch. The middle pocket in the 3 pocket pouch is the only one big enough to store glasses and I would like to keep both my sun glasses and my night time riding glasses in the pouch.

I have the 2-bag. It works fine for a garage door opener, wallet, cell phone, etc but is too small to fit glasses.

T-Bags 3 pouch. Dig the shape and convenience. Good quality...oh, and if I can't fit my spare glasses in either of the 2 lower fairings, the tour pack or inside my leather pocket...then I shouldn't be riding, I should be driving! LOL

I HAD an aftermarket three pocket for a softail windshield on my Ultra that had plenty of room but didn't like the look so much.
Bought the three pocket Harley pouch, swapped it to the new bike with Tweeter Speaker Pods and it fit fine. Only problem, the pockets are a little small.
I now have the single pocket pouch and it seems I could pack for the weekend in it. Well, so far, only two packs of smokes, my phone and some napkins.

I didn't care for the 3 pouch when I was using my short windshield. It would stick out past the edges of the windshield.

I kind of wished I had the single pouch on my Ultra instead of my T-Bags three pocket. I have a hard time digging out stuff in the side pockets....dang fingers....

2 pocket works for me. Looked at the 3 pocket and even thought about getting it.

I've got the T-bag three pocket. One pouch is for glasses and another is for my cell phone. I don't used the third pouch all that much. But when riding two up the GF often has a use for it. What I like about it is its shape and its large pockets.
