I've got the Restrap system. It's not so much a bag as a holster that wraps around a separate dry bag, so pretty handy for carrying a bag of rolled up clothes that you can slip out in the drybag, particularly if you can leave the holster on the bike.
Ortlieb is good, better if you've got a clickfit system on it but don't know how much you'll fit in-aren't they about 7litres? Restrap can handle double that. No idea about Altura. Main thing I'd be looking at is ease of getting on and off the bike if it's an everyday thing.

To be honest this sounds more like a standard saddlebag than anything more elaborate. Carradice at the quality end of the market (SQR tour, slim or carradry) or a whole variety of cheaper ones.

Hoping someone with experience of all three can comment on ortlieb vs restrap vs altura handlebar bags?
I won't be doing any major bike packing but they look like a neater way to carry clothes to work versus the backpack I currently wear.
Ortlieb seems like a bit of a known entity as I know a couple of people that own them and sing their praises. Is there any reason I should consider the other 2?
