I want a rear storage option but don’t want a rear rack, I tried my regular saddle bag but it’s huge and sways a bunch! This in the picture looks great but I haven’t really seen this style of bag much before

I don’t have experience with this one in particular, but I’ve tried a few storage options. This one would annoy me a great deal due to having to unmount it every time I fold the bike and mount it again when unfolding it.
This seems annoying since you wouldn’t be able to fold/lower the seatpost without taking it off
lets agree on this and call it a seatpost bag lol
Decent capacity, can sway while riding. You need to release/cinch the seatpost velcro straps each time you want to do anything with the seatpost, which was fine for me. Ive seen one youtuber say you can mount it facing you on the handlebar + stem. Biggest annoyance for me was that the swaying bag unlatches my garmin radar
I recc a front rack compatible with the carrier block. I’m a big fan of the Ortlieb roller bag. You can use it on a regular bicycle rear rack AND on the Brompton. So fewer bags to buy. I got a Chinese Titanium front rack from the well known Ally X Press site. You can install a 2nd rail easily on the bag to make the hooks work with the front rack on Brompton. It is so solidly attached. Zero sway. Was cheap since I already have the Ortlieb bag and I use it on my regular hybrid commuter bike and the Brompton. Also, a proper bag will hold anything, like a laptop etc. The seatpost bag looks constrained.
