I have two 5.5L Dom Gorilla dry bags that I lash to my rear rack (tubus cargo) with voile straps. Straps are inserted in the bag’s daisy-chain webbing (i.e. they stay with the bag) and every morning I go thru the gymnastic of holding the bag in one hand, routing the straps between the stays and then pushing with my knee while tightening the straps.
I am trying to learn about the various systems that exist. The objective being to be able to attach/detach the bags easily and quickly, without having to spend a fortune, keeping in mind that I would also like to be able to secure an umbrella or some other similar cargo. (i.e. fork packs are probably not ideal).

I have ordered [Problem Solver’s anchors](https://problemsolversbike.com/products/bow-tie-strap-anchors). I’ll try mounting them with P-clamps.

Sorry but panniers exist for a reason and it seems like that is what you want.
There are voile straps specifically for rear racks. [https://www.rei.com/product/188934/voile-rack-strap-20-in?sku=1889340001&store=42](https://www.rei.com/product/188934/voile-rack-strap-20-in?sku=1889340001&store=42) . Then instead of two dry bags, use one rolltop waterproof backpack.
How much is spending a fortune?
This guy makes great solutions for racks & forks that have mounting barnacles. See the longer things cage for your umbrella.

I just ordered this https://waywardriders.com/
I like it because it seems easy to attach/detach and should work with my dropper post. Also should work with my existing dry bag.
