Only concern might be if you have a carbon seatpost - saddle bags like that aren't usually recommended for them. I'd consider switching post to alloy if you're currently carbon.
As for what seat bag, there are loads out now - I have a restrap which is great, porcelain rockets are now back in stock too and they're supposed to be amazing

If you're in France anyway consider Helmut equipment. Their stuff looks nice :)

I'm cycling from Toulouse to Barcelona at the end of the month, staying in ho[s]tels along the way. I've previously done some similar length journeys in the UK with a backpack but with the heat I'd prefer to get a saddlebag (something like this -> https://www.condorcycles.com/products/ortlieb-seat-pack?variant=36247279050&msclkid=b9d8d3b1b4df17f7319d89596409bce1 ).
My intention is to ride my Ribble R872. Will a saddle bag damage the bike? If not, would you recommend that saddlebag or are there better available?
