Commuting Bag
I've been looking for a smallish saddle/post type of bag to carry trousers and shirt and a few bits and pieces to work and avoid 'sweaty back' syndrome. The closest I have found is the Altura Aero or Arran. Has anyone any experience of using these, or similar, over a period of time?

The thing is, motorists' killing grounds are not limited to schools, hospitals and nurseries and their environs.

I forgot to say, they do those in smaller sizes too. They're also amazingly waterproof, both inside and out (I unfortunately know that when some food leaked and I didn't know until I opened the bag!)
I haven't used either of those, but I use an Ortlieb large saddle bag, which is large enough for a flask, food and clothes.

I think they have a new version out that out that connects directly to the saddle post rather than use an adaptor that connects to the underside of the saddle.
