ROCKBROS Cycling Bib Shorts Seamless Men Cycling Shorts 6H 500KM Ride Summer MTB Road Shorts Buffer Zone Bicycle Tights
Bib-ShortThe shorts are impressive too - one cargo pocket, high quality straps, good quality lycra, good grippers, nicely cut legs. Padding is fine for at least 3-4 hours but haven't tested any more yet. If you're tall, you might find the legs a bit short, but I'd say mine are good for ~175cm and below. Two really good pieces from Rockbros, not something I really expected but sometimes you take a shot in the dark and get lucky.

WEST BIKING Fahrrad-Oberrohrtasche, magnetisch, wasserdicht, Schrauben, Riemen, 2-in-1-Fahrrad-Fronttasche, MTB, StraÃe, Kies, Radfahren, obere Rahmentasche
BagsI've tried numerous top tube bags and the best I've found is this one which is 1L and only 5cm wide. It's got a strap or bolt on option and has a sturdy magnetic clip. It's seems to be a common model which is produced under many brands - I think West bike was the cheapest for me from the coins page. There's a couple of bolt mounting positions and the forward position will minimise the gap which is fine for me, but not sure if it's acceptable to you.
