  • ^I'm a bikepacker and I agree, Carradice bags are awesome on-road and tolerable off-road.

    On another note, what's a decent, small packing 2-season bag for not-a-lot-but-possibly-some money?

    For 2-3 season stuff I have a Sea-to-Summit Trek TK1 - 650 fill power at 900g ish. Works as a duvet in summer and I've used it for sub-bushline stuff to about -5c in winter. It doesn't have a fancy 3D hood and is a semi-rectangular shape so not the ultimate in performance for the weight, but then again, it was not particularly expensive. Being down it packs down to about the size of a small leg of lamb. I suppose you could get smaller/lighter bags for the money but then you're sacrificing versatility - your bag will probably be the most expensive thing in your panniers so it's worth getting something you'll be able to use for most of the year.

    I think it cost 130 quid or thereabouts, you might pick one up much cheaper in a sale though.
