Seatpost Bags Advice
I've just bought a LHT but can really only ride on Sundays. Normally I'll cycle for anywhere from 4 to 9 hours. I'm only looking to carry extra clothes and some food. On my previous bike I had a quick release bag connected to the handle bars, whick I liked, but I've added extra brakes on my LHT so this bag won't fit.
I like the look of the quick release stlye bag that is connected to the seatpost and am wondering about the pros and cons. I like to go at a nice, steady pace. I try to push it a little going up any hills but take it easy going down them.
Oh and I'm pretty much just a guy who like to cycle and enjoy the surroundings. I'm pretty much a novice and not exctly up on cycling terms.
Cheers

I had interrupter brakes work with my Ortlieb handlebar bag. I only took them off when I decided I didn't really use them enough to justify the weight. As for a saddle bag I really like my Carradice Nelson Longflap bag with a quick release Bagman rack (clamps onto the saddle rails).

Thanks for the replies.
My present bike has a Tioga bag. The problem is that I have a brand new bike. I also got the shop to put on silicon grips as well as extra brakes. It all looks pretty good and I know it took them a long time. I don't really want to have to get them to do everything again so I'm thinking of getting a seatpost bag.
This is kind of what I'm thinking of getting. I've never used this style before but I don't like the traditional panniers.

This is my commuter with Carradice Nelson Longflap and Bagman QR rack (sorry for the blurriness, taken with my camera phone as the sun was setting)
