I had an AlpKit one which in a tired state on a long Audax I think I must have failed to do up properly, leaving a strap loose and ended up snapping my seatpost as a result. I bought a Revelate one as a replacement for the destroyed bag. It seems to be better designed than the Alpkit one I have to say.

What are the options (all prices) for large saddle bags? Budget is tight, but no point buying into a false economy.
Needs to fit to a road bike (no racks or eyelets), with about 15cm of seat tube
I want something that will not swing about, and will be secured to the seat tube and saddle only, without a noticeable rub against the thighs when cycling (so, narrow end, preferably).
Probably the bag will be used for clothing, to accompany a backpack and maybe a very small additional bag elsewhere (bike tools and snacks).
Very important, must be an off-the-shelf option, no lead time, trip will take place in a few weeks so must be available to order and test/use immediately.
