Hi! Going too buy some framebags from Revelate or Apidura for some summer touring. Wondering If there are spice too put both tent and sleepingbag in a big Sweetroll from revelate?

Am going UL and will buy UL tent and sleepingbag/mat.

Also wondering where you put your stuff when you use framebags.

I don't have the Sweetroll, I just use a dry bag & strap it to my Jones handlebars. I stuff my tent, sleeping bag & pad into it. They all fit, though I remove the poles & pegs and place those in my framebag. The tent is a 1 person Big Agnes, the bag is down & weight is 1 lb., and the pad is a Neoair. Together the items weight 4.5 lbs. The Sweetroll can be ordered with different size bags, so you can get the size you need.

I think the Sweetroll is too limited. You have to pick the size that you think you'll need and hope you don't need a different size. I'm not sure why they made it.

The Harness is more versatile. You can pick whatever bag size you want for whatever you want to carry. My tent and sleeping bag already have bags, so I just use those bags in the harness. I have a pocket for the harness that I can either use or not depending on my needs.
