Really? Thanks to my saddle issues I spent WAAAAY more time out of the saddle than normal and the Viscacha was fine and dandy. Without a saddle bag I'm limiting my goods storage area a lot - I carried a spare GPS, down jacket, rain jacket and tools in it during TCR, plus anything else I wasn't wearing at the time.
I've seen some bug bivvys but they are as heavy as my normal bivvy! And they're fucked in the cold or the rain...

Don't bother with anything other than a super lightweight bivi bag, which must have a bug net.
I don't intend to ever use a saddle bag again- they seriously mess up your pedal stroke when you're out of the saddle.
Those chalk bag things are excellent- I stored another bidon in mine.
