I'm looking for a small saddle bag that'll take a spare inner tubes, rescue box and multitool (Topeak Hexus II.) Lightweight and cheap preferable.

I'm bewildered by the choices. Any idea what capacity I need or specific bags? I'm guessing around the 400ml mark, which means something like the Topeak Aero Wedge or the Lezyne Caddy in either small (350ml) or medium (500ml.)

Any clear winners?

    I use a 0.2l. I can cram in 2 tubes, 2 levers, multi-tool, latex gloves and a patch kit. Got it from Decathlon. Clips onto the saddle rails so doesn't scuff up my seat post.

    Worth getting one with a bit to clip a rear light to as sometimes the bag can obscure a seatpost mounted light. The topeak wedge ones work OK for me - probably a small for what you want to carry. There are probably other options just as good.

    No clear winners then. Veering towards the Topeak option, one or two of those mentioned look on the small side if I want to get two inner tubes in there. Brakeburn option looks very cheap but can't find the weight mentioned.

    Cheers.

    I have a smaller version of the Vaude Tool Stick.
    It's superlight, extra secure and can expand if you need extra space, which I haven't yet, as it can hold 2x Innertubes, 2x Tyre Levers, 1x Multitool and Housekeys in it.

    This.
    Note - it is very small so you'll get a tube, couple of tyre levers and a very small multitool in there but not much else.
    Nice and unobtrusive though.
