Great question... No better person to answer that than professional cyclist Whitney Allison
What is the purpose of a saddle bag on your bike?
As Whitney states, the purpose of a saddle bag on your bike is "to be able to fix the most common mechanicals you're going to encounter on the road"
This would be the absolute minimum you would want to bring with you on a ride. If you pay attention to most professional gravel racers, this is the minimum that they race with as well.
