www.apidura.com/product/saddle-pack-mid-size/I have this fitted to a Alur 700, and have used it on a 250km weekend tour with an overnight stop. It fits very neatly behind the seat post, and looks very tidy but quite long. Packed completely full it held spare cycling shorts, cycling top, flip flops, small aero wedge seat pack (for racing use at my destination), windproof jacket, two t-shirts & a pair of shorts plus 5 snack bars. I only needed about half of this so I could probably have bought a smaller pack if I was more disciplined about packing. It made the bike a bit back-heavy but I didn't notice at all while riding. Best of all it made virtually no difference to my average speed - I comfortably held to 16mph even through some decent hills. The pack is a bit of a faff to fit when fully loaded, because you have to hold it and clip/strap at the same time, but it isn't too bad. Overall highly recommended!

Looks nice but idk; I don't think I'd give up my backpack on my commutes anyway. Especially when carrying something heavier.

It's specialist kit at that price, a bit more capacity without the weight of a rear carrier, not really for commuting. I'd be tempted if I was doing more Audax rides but agree for commuting a backpack probably makes more sense if you don't want a permanant rack.
