TBH I don't think that design of front bag works well with drop bars. It's a bit of a PITA to get stuff in/out without levers/shifters/cables/bars getting in the way.
The Wildcat harness works well and the tension under the fork and variable size of drybags means you can generally avoid it catching, but that design assumes you'll be packing a drybag in the morning, strapping it in and leaving it on all day - not really a quick-access/on-the-go solution.
What are you planning to use it for?

Thanks - that's handy, I wouldn't have thought of using a hole punch to create bottle cage holes.
I popped down to Condor this morning to check out the Apidura stuff, the M and L front bags both skimmed the front tyre (empty), so when full I predict that I'd very rapidly cut a groove through the bag.
The little one seems very small, is there a better option? The sales-guy (Angel) recommended simply strapping a dry bag to the bars instead of getting the S(mall) Apidura bar-bag.
