THANK YOU for the heads up, I've been meaning to grab one of these for ages, mainly for development of the touring range, this is a godsend.. especially after just spending stupid money on machinery.
The way I do it, is I have one built in/tacked in support between the two layers, which goes up the sides and along the bottom, and then a removable support on the closed side to the rider. This means you can remove it if you need to pack the bag flat for a trip (the only real reason these stiffeners are removable).
Glad to be of help, looking forward to seeing the rest of the touring gear too!
Seems like a good idea building those supports in. Think I'm going to stitch the base-piece/padding in when I finally get around to making a new porteur-sack bag for the weekly veg shop.
