Super easy. Just pull on the boa wheel (just like you would on a shoe) to release tension, then the strap simply unsnaps and the entire seat roll can be removed from the saddle. I really like it because it's very easy to swap between my bikes, doesn't rub on the seat post, and gives you a work space to lay out your tools/patches/etc.

On my road bike for relatively faster, shorter rides, I'll zip the expandable pouch shut, and just carry:
- Spare tube
- Lezyne glueless patches in a small, flat plastic envelope in the lid pouch
- Multi-tool, levers and blue paper shop towel in a ziplock bag
- Minimal first aid kit tucked into inner side pouch with a few ibuprofen, antihistamine, asthma pills (ephedrine, expectorant and cough suppressant -- true rescue inhalers no longer exist and some asthmatics still respond only to ephedrine as a bronchodilator), wet wipes with sunscreen and bug repellent; glucose tabs and NUUN tablets or DripDrop sealed pouches of powdered electrolyte supplements.
- Small wallet
- Keys clipped to the keyholder strap inside the lid.
On the hybrid for longer casual rides I'll open up the expandable pouch and add:
- USB battery and cords for recharging my doodads
- The larger tube for my 700x42 tires
- Kind bar
- Extra first aid stuff including bandaids, small clotting pads, tape, etc.
I'll probably get a larger saddle bag for the hybrid to hold a larger first aid kit, more tools, etc.

Inorite? I over pack for everything.
Could be worse. In winter I often carry extra socks and clothing for homeless folks I see camping along the roadside and MUP.
If I was a strong enough rider I'd probably tow a folding bike as a dinghy.

Since I ride tubeless (tubulars) and hardly ever get flats anymore, I've really cut down what I carry. I don't carry a tube anymore (or tire) except in extreme instances. Dynaplug makes a variety of kits that allow you to insert one or more plugs in the hole for a permanent solution. Should work for tubeless clincher riders too.
So first level of protection is the sealant in the tire (takes care of 90% of the problems). 2nd level of protection is Dynaplug and I carry 2 CO2 cylinders, and multitool (fixit sticks). I suppose for an intermediate extreme situation I could carry a small 2oz bottle of Stans too.

Still a big fan of the Arundel Dual-- I just combine mine with a WolfTooth B-Rad and get it out from under the saddle. Guaranteed to never fall off. No full jersey pockets, and it's just nice not to have a pound of stuff strapped to the bottom of the saddle.
