Bar bags anyone?
StuntPilot:
I purchased the Ortlieb Ultimate 6 L Plus a couple of years ago and have found it a great size and completely waterproof in the most torrential of downpours.
Also, it has a couple of mesh side pockets and does open away from the rider, unlike the compact version in the picture above. It has a nifty magnetic closure system using magnets which works well. Comes with a lock and key which I have found comforting when nipping into a shop for a couple of minutes but usually I take the handlebar bag everywhere with me.

This latest Ortlieb bag is a big improvement on previous models so worth considering too.

Well, having now done a short tour without it, it's going straight back on, sod the aesthetics ;)
I really missed it, I took less photos because of the faff of stopping and getting the camera out, plus missed somewhere handy for snacks. I don't know what I was thinking leaving it off...
