I did look at the Revelate Designs, but they do not seem to have a Krampus-specific frame bag. They do have bags designed for Trolls, Ogres and Pugsleys though.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a Revelate seat bag, though. But I was deeply unimpressed with the Revelate advice about using their seat bag with a Thudbuster: file down one of the bolts on the Thudbuster or it will wear through the bag. IMO, if a manufacturer knows that a bike part will wear through their bag, they should reinforce the bag rather than telling users to take a file to their bike.
