I saw a cyclist a few days ago with a pair of shorts flapping off the back of a loaded rack.

A few extra quid that cuts out so much aggro, why wouldn't you is the question.

Do you actually do this? For what length of tours? Must admit it doesn't sound utility to me. What about all the packing materials you need to carry? Do you need to visit the post office to get various packages weighed?

Looking at Royal Mail .. 0.5kg about 4ukp ... that would be 8 ukp for one there and one back.
Looks a bit pricy to me ... Australia Post do a 0.5kg satchel for $1.25 for a 5 pack.. so that is $0.61 each anywhere in the country (somewhat larger than the UK). They are a plastic bag with post paid .. should be suitable for damp things https://shop.auspost.com.au/pack-and-po ... e-satchels

The thing that strikes me about this idea is , How many pairs of shorts would you need to own for a two week trip?
