Beware of bikepacking equipment like shown in above link. That brand is not assembled with the correct industrial sewing machines for each move necessary. Using a normal lockstitch machine for webbing is not acceptable. You wouldnt buy a dog collar sewn without a bar tack machine and they cost $10 or less. Imo this brand looks nice but cuts corners in production.

I would recommend this [url/https://biketoworkday.us/best-bike-handlebar-bags/]Oranlife bike handlebar bag[/url] to people looking for a medium-sized bike bag that they can use for work and short trips. It can carry everything you might need and be used for errands and daily commutes. It?s full dimensions are 10 x 5.5 x 5 inches and has a 3.5L capacity. It was made by waterproof material and shoulder strap included, the burrito shape makes it lightweight and easy to secure onto bars but still allows for bulkier items to be stored inside.

The basic idea works fine. A dry bag and some straps to hang a sleeping and tent from the bars has carried some people across continents.
I use one that velcro's to a soft cradle.
I will also strap a dry bag directly behind that one using nylon straps sometimes.
20l space and a couple hundred miles without trouble on both.
Bout a thousand on the cheap cradle set alone. If it ever wears out I will replace it with a Salsa version.
The benefits of the cradle are many from how it spreads out the pressure on the dry bag. The ability to anchor against flopping. And two buckles for quick on and off.
A bonus of this system is that it will hold up to a 30l bag allowing pretty quick load shifts. Slide all your soft goods into a larger bag to strap up front. Load all the free space you made with extra food to last a long stretch without resupply mid trip.

Yes - I use cam buckle canoe straps cut down to 36" to strap a Sea to Summit eVent compression bag to my bars.
Here's a pic of my friend doing something similar.
