In this case I’d go with like a randoneur/racktop bag, much more useful space, I’ve used my restrap dry bag for commuting occasionally and it’s doesnt work year round, you can just aboutfit a rolled up t-shirt, jeans and some squashed shoes (something low profile like vans or converse or some nike flynits) you just can’t get a lunch box in with all that.
I’ve never invested in a rack top bag but I know I should, you’d easily fit all that in and if you have some elastic straps /pockets built into it you could easily shove a light rain jacket into that if you need to take it off.
Plus it would still have room for a lock, maybe some light shopping if you happen, boots/heavier weight clothes too for the winter. Most are easy to take off the rack at either end as well.
Restrap make one that looks great actually and works with a quick release mount. Don’t forget there’s a forum discount if you go with restrap!
Leave a pair of shoes at work and you save some space.
I always struggle when it comes to trying to squeeze a lunch box in as well. Some may say buy a smaller luncheon container but then that means less food...
