edscoble-
I enjoy frame and saddlebags when not carrying camping stuff, but spare clothes etc. But you could save ~1kg by using drybags (300g vs 1400g) instead of panniers but still enjoy low center of gravity and the benefits of lowriders.
I fit my sleeping bag, mat, bivy + tarp in one of these drybags. Then clothes + food/snacks in the other. Lightweight lowrider alternative to bikepacking bags.
psee
^^ Both heavier than 1kg. Thanks though.
It would be nice to have a rack that holds drybags. The Alpkit 13l Airlok's are the perfect size and have attachment points on both sides. Thinking of getting a cheap lowrider rack, modify it somewhat, and then strap them to it.
