That material may be available in semi-translucent shades, but this stuff is pretty darn opaque. On the conspicuity front, you could absolutely plaster the thing with reflective stickers. I have gaffer tape in day-glo, and I have glow in the dark tape that would be pretty entertaining to look at. But I don't have good retroreflective tape on hand. I've got a couple tape wholesalers I've purchased from.
I took the handlebar bag into the office and the postal scale. The bag weighs 360 grams and has a 14.75 liter capacity.
