A massive saddle bag for overnight trips?

    I’m looking for recommendations for a really big saddle bag. I am not a pannier rack fan, and my current bike (Van Nic Mistral) doesn’t have mounts anyway.

    I’m planning on venturing out a lot at weekends with a nice lightweight tent, a book, and a change of clothes + extras.

    Yes, there is obviously Carradice, but I’m thinking more Mark Hall (/content/news/59716-interview-round-world-record-holder-mike-hall-talks-round-world-record-kit) than slow laden touring.

    Carradice SQR Slim or SQR Tour look quite good, but there is a specific saddle bag I’ve seen used for LEJOG which is more aero shaped – long and thin. No idea of the brand though…

    Also, if anyone has a secondhand one floating around that I can buy… >:D<

    If you are going to go down
    If you are going to go down the dry bag route. DONT search for dry bag, search for compression sack.

    One of the best out there is the Sea to Summit

    This idea hit me last night too! I’m going to source one and see if I can attach it suitably. Thanks for the brand recommendation.

    You want one of them Revelate
    You want one of them Revelate bags, looking at getting myself one actually for some light touring, as an alternative to panniers or a traditional Carradice bag
