I'm no weight weenie, and my bike is not the lightest thing around, and neither am I. I'm just sayin, if you are sweating the grams, why a saddle bag?!
Carrying that much stuff in the jersey pockets is awful and either way, it's all weight even if it is on you or on the bike. I used to carry a mini pump in my jersey pocket until I fell and landed on it...I don't do that anymore because it hurt like hell.
