• My opinion is the best saddle bag is a super lightweight race and a drybag attaches to it.

    All saddle bags wag around and are shit really, if they’ve any weight in them. The Carridige might be better.

    After experimenting with quite a few options and hypothesising about load of others, I've come to a similar conclusion.

    It looks like the manufacturers have realised this too as the latest thing in seat packs seems to be to incorporate a mini rack, to add stability, and make it quicker putting on and taking off, at the cost of a little bit more weight.

    I've just ordered an Arkel Seatpacker, which has a mini rack.

    Alpkit do something similar. It costs half as much but the Arkel one seems better.
