Feathered Friends. Just as good as Western Mountaineering, in my opinion. I have been using them for years, with zero complaints, and they last a very long time if you take care of them.

I am new to fatbikes and bikepacking, thought not to bike touring (on the road).  Originally I was interested in a large seat pack like those made by Revelate Designs. But I don't think one will fit on my bike. I currently have a Surly Pugsley. Let me explain. I have pretty short legs and a medium (~18") frame is what fits me best as far as reach and comfort in the saddle/cockpit. That means that I have to lower my saddle so that it is only about 4-5" up from the frame. This does not leave enough clearance for a large seat pack. Is the next best option a light rack with gear in a dry bag strapped on top?

Thanks.
