PDW Gear Belly...
You're gonna have to think about the trade off between ease of use and weight.
You'll quickly notice 1026g when steering the bicycle before you pack it up properly, a good handlebar bag may not be easy to strap on/off* but the big advantage is that you'll save nearly 1kg in weight alone that can be added back when you pack it.What I don't get with the PDW bag is that it design to be removable whenever you want with the R&K system but it also design to make it easy to remove the dry bag from the system without taking it off the bike, so what the point of having a removable mount that add weight only to leave it on the bike when mounting the dry bag onto the system?
The Apidura Backcountry Pack in the largest 11L capacity is 270g (and can fit drop bar bike providing you don't overfill it).

Has anyone used the PDW Gear Belly with drop handlebars? I'm wondering how stable the Rixen & Kaul handlebar fitting is fully loaded and whether the width is too wide for typical touring handlebars.
