Saddle bag - recommendations?

Maidhci

Need to replace my saddle bag and looking for some recommendations please. I am looking for a strap-on small - medium sized bag. Thinking of the Topeak Aero Wedge strap-on bag, but not sure. Any recommendations would be welcome, thank you.

I prefer the minimalist look;

Lezyne loaded caddy.

Topeak aero wedge is a very good bag. Solid connection, no rocking about. I have the medium I think and comfortably fit two tubes, levers, gas canisters and some gels in there. I've found that I much prefer having everything in the saddle bag than stuffing my jersey pockets.

Ortlieb, I've the medium one which is quite big, but Im sure the small would be more than adequate for a couple of tubes, tyre irons, multi tool and a packable jacket.
I get all that and spare gloves, sun cream and more into mine! Its totally waterproof and the attachment to the seat is excellent. Love it.

I've the medium topeak aero wedge, but the quick clip version, which is really easy to remove.

I can easily fit in two tubes, two cannisters, minipump, mini tool, levers, and an emergency gel even at minimum size/ zipped up/ not extended. I also prefer to keep my pockets free, for food in my case!

Went with the tool bottle cage, fit in it the below and changed my water bottle to a 1000ml bottle and top up at stops if needed.
2 * 25mm CO2's
Hand Pump
CO2 head
1 Tube
Glueless patch * 4 and tyre boot
Chain link
Multitool with chain breaker
Pair of rubber gloves
Tyre levers

Keeps my pockets free, for longer spins I keep a 2nd tube in jersey.

Thank you for this mirrormatrix - It seems to be good bag and was the first option on my list, but it is always helpful to hear from someone who has one on their bike. Thanks again.

Thank you all for the various recommendations, very helpful. I have decided to order the Topeak Aero Wedge, it seems to fit all my requirements - tube, gloves, phone, 2 food bars are all that I usually carry and this seems sufficient to comfortably carry these. Thanks again.

That's one of the best bags out there IMO. I've bought all 4 sizes over the years
