At the moment I use a self made handlebar harness with two straps. I am looking for good waterproof bags to attach at the front. The only problem is that most of the bags that I can find are a bit too square. I am looking for longer bags with a smaller diameter. Something like the longer stuffsacks that Therm a rest uses.

Anybody know of a company that makes a bit more longish waterproofbags?

A lot of people use the Sea to Summit eVent bags.  

I can fit my 1 person tent body and fly, and a summer bag in a size XS one.

I have a longish skinny one from OR http://www.outdoorresearch.com/site/durable_dry_sacks.html I think it's the 10 liter. I have had it for close to ten years it used to get crammed in a kayak all of the time now I put my sleeping pad in it on the bars with a homemade sling as well.

Yeah that's what I am looking for. Funny that I missed that on the therm a rest site. I have some of those in the non waterproof version but I did not know they made a roll top version. Thanks.

You could always make your own, there's loads of tutorials online for making them and it'll be a nice introduction of sewing your own kit. The only obstacle could be access to a sewing machine...

This might be a link to one of them but then again I could have completely buggered it up...
