Fork Cage recommendations

I've ordered an Old Man Mountain Axle Pack as I want to shift some of the weight from the rear of my bike to the front- not a huge amount, but a couple of kilos. I'm after some fork cages- what does everyone recommend? Ideally, I would like them to not be plastic. I have bags already, so just after the cages.

Edited to add: I'm after sleek and streamlined, not bulky. It is likely that I will leave the axle pack and cages fitted, even when I'm not bikepacking. I cannot be asked to keep taking things off and on.

Thanks

Bikepacking.com did a round up of cages and bags - https://bikepacking.com/index/cargo-cag ... hing-bags/ you'll have to work out which are available this side of the pond.

I tend to think that all cages are bulky but the Problem Solver Bow-ties are much less so. They certainly don't offer the support of a full cage but will hold a surprising amount of kit.

I have Tailfin cargo cages - light, unobtrusive when no bags attached, solid, not cheap, but do the job.
