I have just ordered a LOMO dry bag as it is long and skinny (and should allow me to use the Revelate front pocket) and then after watching a Vimeo video from Juicy Fruita these were mentioned:

Nice idea...shame they are not available in the UK and quite $$$ compared to others.

The quest continues...

those look pretty nice!
have to see if the local shop has any to compare.
i'm using one with my drop bar road / dirt road rig and i'd love something just a bit narrower.

Yep, wishing I had ordered one of those now! I might try making one of my own if I can hijack my mum's sewing machine Smiley Would be great to have something that you can actually find stuff in! Shame as the Alpkit ones are almost perfect...

Cool to see OR bust out something new. I played around with the lateral idea quite a bit a while back - you end up with a lot more extra fabric (weight) being rolled up to make the closure and stiffeners are needed on both sides due to the length. Bag width and closure need a different approach too since they don't stuff like normal bags. Notice that they have 4 buckles on there to keep it all together. All that aside they would be interesting to try out since OR bags are top notch.

I am on board with Eric and the Relevate designs dry bag. Light, bomber, and can fit under your bars or go in your pack.  It works great with his harness system (although you might have to to some cable rerouting).  It is a wee bit spendy, but your are supporting a guy you can call up and who is living the life.  I think that is worth a $10 premium and the gear is quality.
