I also don’t think a jacket is fitting in my jersey pockets. Does anyone ride with one of those larger seat post bags that extend quite a bit? Some are in the 3-10L range. I would think 3-5L would be perfect to stuff some stuff in, but don’t want to add too much excess weight or bulk. I don’t think a frame bag works given the water bottle holders.
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
I have a bunch of different size bags since I use them for anything from road riding, to 6 hour gravel rides without frequent access to gas stations, to riding to/from work.
Obviously panniers are off the table as thats overkill. You can use a trendy roll-top bikepacking bag as they come in smaller sizes. There are also large wedge bags which work great. Lastly I use a feed bag on by gravel bike because it puts any snacks right at my hands and can store small stuff in the outside mesh too for quick access.
smaller roll top bag examples. there are tons more online from various brands.
