Meant to post this earlier as a positive vibes type of thing, before @skidlidsid's tale (best of luck for a good resolution) but - my mood was perked up massively on a soggy Bristol commute this morning. Nice wet ride (but mudflaps for the win, dry shoes) along mostly a shared path, approaching a full-body-soak potential of a puddle on the road, and the double decker bus coming up behind me slows and goes outwards around the puddle to avoid drenching me. Driver & I exchanged thumbs up and big grins - obviously a decent bloke/10

Yes. I have used the waterproof seatpack (£20) and the matching bar bag for a 50 mile back lane/bridleway ride and they were excellent. No complaints at all for the money, and presumably they'd also be good at a slightly higher price! Was mounted on a Trek Crossrip and no noticeable swinging. Also, it was a dry ride but no rubbing/marks on seatpost/bars/headtube where straps were attached, so I'm very happy indeed with them. Will put up a photo if I can work it out/have time later. Contents-wise I could carry tubes/tools, change of clothes, flip flops, sandwiches (with space for a little bit more stuff) in the seat pack, and another jacket/phone charger/couple of other bits in the handlebar bag. Great if you're going somewhere where bedding/towels etc. is provided! For camping who knows, I haven't tried that yet and would probably go for rack, panniers and basket.
