Compact saddle bag for a road bike?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You may know this, but that is Willie Mays Hayes' (Wesley Snipes) car in Major League. Normally I would agree with you, but in that context, it works.

An old sock and a worn out toestrap has worked for me for 40 plus years.

I like the quick release (1/4 turn) of the Scicon for security. Also no velcro to ruin your bibs.

Once I got down to what I really needed to take with me, everything fit nicely in my jersey pocket and I didn't even notice it on rides. Before that, I took a few more things and had the Arundel Uno. I liked that pack because it was tiny, but well designed.

+1. I use a SCICON COMPACT 430 (very sleek) and a LEZYN CADDY SACK for the jersey back pocket.

Thanks for all the advice, folks. This is what I've got. It is (supposed to be) waterproof and snaps right into my saddle.
