Nah, saddle bags can flop around. Especially when it gets chunky. As has been mentioned a few times (go back and read the thread), a floppy seat bag isn't the sole reason for the change that I made.
I have a very big saddle bag, and the only time it flaps around is when the bike is on the back of my car, and who cares about that? If I have to put things in my pocket, why do I have this thing under my saddle?
Solution in search of a problem. And you know what? I can carry a lot more stuff than those few items.

Glad you like it, but hard pass for me.
