I'm looking at max maybe 4-5 days, campgrounds, and I'm trying to avoid the added expense of a front rack and front panniers which I would rarely use.
So I'm looking at something for maybe clothing, or sleeping bag or some other soft "bulk" items to free up pannier & rear rack space. So a small bag isn't adequate. (And realistically, I haven't loaded up with what I think I would carry for 4 days so not sure what I need, if anything) Just looking for a relatively inexpensive option for additional storage.
Maybe a Revelate Harness with a larger drybag? (I have plenty of drybags from kayaking)
Go with the Revelate Harness. It has more versatility then most of the other handlebar bags. You can carry a little or carry a lot, it adjusts better to fit anything. It's also cheaper.
