Looks like a rack pack should be secured sideways on top of panniers. I'll have to "run a simulation", but for now it looks like we'll have to ride with rear panniers anyways because of the added volume of thermal layers and, above all, the shocking volume of the quilt we've purchased.

May start a new thread to pick your brains. OTOH, it is not as if we're crossing Antartica

Thanks again
I thought you were doing Bryce in Mar or Apr. That should not require that much extra volume for cold weather gear. Or is there another trip in the works?

Big quilt or anything that is compressible, a compression sack should work well.

I have two that are waterproof, but I have not really tested them for waterproofness, I am just relying on the rating. If you want waterproof, do a google search for event compression sack.
