I'm in the same boat. I bought a metro porteur rack which for £30 I was pleasantly surprised at - fits the Straggler with minimum fettling and will take a 20l dry back with some webbing straps to hold it in place. Just need to get about 10-15l more storage so was looking at Blackburn outpost seatpost bags. I'm inclined to assume they're worth paying twice what those roswheels are but would be interested to know if that's true.

I've got the waterproof one on order. I'll let you know if it's any good.

To be fair, they look really good for the money. You'd probably struggle to make one yourself for £18..... Even if you had a sewing machine driving license

Received the waterproof one recently. Didn´t try it out on the bike yet and have no prior experience with bikepacking stuff but first impression looks good (it´s huge). Filled it up with water - only little bit of a leakage out of a seam. Good enough for me, it´s not a camelbak after all.

Im vaguely planning a trip in the summer and the price of all the kit is a bit of a stumbling block. Anyone had experience with these saddlebags from AliExpress? Can't imagine the quality is great but at around £20 for the basic one and £35 for the supposedly waterproof one, perhaps it's worth a punt?
