Saddle pack without velcro round seatpost

Hi,
Can anyone recommend me a good saddle pack that does not have a velcro band around the seatpost and that mounts as far back on the saddle as sensible? I'd like it to be large enough to carry a couple of spare tubes, plus tyre levers and a multi-tool, tie wraps, emergency cash etc. Don't need space for phone, co2 or stuff like that.
I'm short but have longish thigh bones and as a result have my seat pushed a long way back (and yes I have had a bike fit), this means that my thighs catch on any velcro around the seatpost and also against the front sides of my current Topeak bag.
I've seen ones by Scicon which seem to be what I'm looking for but a number of the reviews report issues with the clamp being weak and rattling.
My saddle is a Selle italia C2 Gel Flow with conventional rails.
Thanks
Andy

Possibly a bit small, but I've just picked up a new ortlieb mini seat pack that just clips in to a saddle bracket. Just strap your spare tube(s) to your seat stays instead of in the pack.0

This is the Lezyne Micro Caddy Small, only room for 1 tube though.0 -
I think i have 2 tubes in mine. Put them in sandwich bags and they slide in much better. Only get the black one though - the white one never gets clean. D'oh !0

My topeak one clips onto the saddle using a clip which is fixed in place.0

I have this one. A single velco strap wraps around the saddle rails, though its nice and secure once tightened.

Good enough for a spare tube, multi-tool, levers, quick link and a pair of latex gloves. Its a slim profile too, so doesnt look a dogs dinner IMO“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0 -
Another vote for the Lezyne.
In mine I can fit:
2 tubes
2 levers
the important Allen keys
chain tool
spare chain links
some patches and glue0 -
Folks,
thanks for the recommendations. The Lezyne packs look good. Can any of you tell me which model you have? There seem to be a fair number of them!
