I needed some extra space, mainly for a sleeping bag. I was meaning to use a tapered alpkit drybag, but attaching it turned out to be fiddly, and thigh rub was annoying. So I reverted to a regular drybag on rear rack. I hacked off bits from a cheap alu rack I had lying around, thinking that a) the original item was overkill for just a few kgs, and b) if this holds up in use, anything will.
Weight including bolts etc. ended up at 350g, so even with a drybag that shouldn't be too much more than a decent bikepacking saddle bag (for example the quoted weight for Revelate Viscacha is a little under 400g).
Couple of snaps from along the way:
