Mini bag that will fit Nashbar front rack on top?
Any suggestions for a mini bag that will fit the Nashbar front rack? This is it:

I'd like for it to fit perfectly on top. Also, that it wouldn't over lap the 'platform' that is the top of the rack. Also, with velcro loops to affix it to the rails. (I know, I'm anal).
This will be for carrying 1 or 2 cameras and lenses. Something cheap, if possible. Waterproof would be a bonus.
Don't want a bag that hangs to the right or left. Thanks in advance.

I once made some pannier-esque bags from a couple of Dakine goggle cases. I used to stick one on top strapped down with some heavy-duty nylon straps. The fit was perfect. It was not waterproof. But you can stick them in a bag before going into the case.

With all those restrictions I think you should fabricate your own. For me a soft sided insulated six pack cooler would work for that.

Depending on your timetable, you might wait for a bit. I seem to recall that Nashbar actually marketed a bag that fit that rack exactly how you want it. I didn't see on their site (or Amazon), which means either they are out of stock with more on the way or out of stock and not getting any more...

Thanks!
Great responses. Looks like I'll head to the dollar store to see if I can find one of those cooler bags.
