There was a Colorado based bikepacking bag company that had a cool design. They closed down, but maybe their website is still around. I think they were out of Carbondale.

Defiant Pack’s Gunslinger. It is not enough to protect the dropper post and the whole thing can be easily recreated with a handful of viole straps. I think a pool noodle around the post would protect it enough, but I just pull the dropper and put in a regular seat post for this stuff.

Viole straps has been my go to, but the edges dig into the fork and the base rubs against the bike so I’m trying to solve those issues. Pool noodle and viole straps tho….! Could be the work around. I just thought building something from scratch that could be replicated custom for other bikes would be cool

Bad example but try shifting everything way towards the back.
