yes, on his website. He talks about the buckles.

Okay, now I get it. You're thinking he can custom make them with snaps! What about this carradice bag? snaps and zippers and even though it looks small on the site, I think it's almost as big as the Barley. The Barley measures 28X15X15 and the zipped roll is 28X14.5. A possibility? I had a Barley and it held a lot.

Sounds like maybe you should get a trunk and a rack. Those are super easy to get into and take off if you get one like the Trek interchange set. I just snap the trunk on my commuter and can take it off in less than a second.
Those carradice/acorn saddle bags are not easy to get into and get off the bike. Even with the quick releases. I'm like you, I'm trying everything!
