<< < (2/3) > >>

the reason i want a dry bag is cause i do quite a bit of motorbike touring aswell and a dry bag would be perfect for keepin all my campin gear dry so i want one that's big enough for all my gear too!

As for dry cag i think i am just going to spend a largeish sum of money once rather than spend lots of moderate sums of money lots of times! but anyway i'm too broke right now to consider anything! just asking questions is all!

Dry bags are fine but you might want to look at Axiom panniers for the bike not great volume in them but a little more suitable for the job.

I got a 100 litre gul dry bag with straps for 24.41 pound (http://www.wetsuitoutlet.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=145) which fits all my gear and is easy to carry around.

The main difference between a semi-dry and a dry cag is about 40 to 50 euro. The cost of putting a neck seal into any cag.
My advice start trying stuff on. Something might look perfect on paper but you might need to shrink your arms for it to fit or you might need two or three people to help you get it off.
Find someone the same height and size roughly as your self and ask them about there gear.

Also buying stuff on the internet you don't get to see the quality. How are the seams waterproofed? What material is used and how heavy is it? This effects how long it will stay waterproof.

But by far the most important thing is the colour. There should be some type of over all colour schemes as you don't what to look silly in the pictures.

For example Kyle, who has gone with a striking orange theme, to match his hair.

i got a fantastic set of soft luggage for the bike but then burned some lovely big holes in them off the exhaust, was away for a lovely weekend in august where it pissed non stop and there was not one single moment when i was dry due to the "unusual nonwaterproofness" of the luggage, brought it back to the guy in the shop who told me where to put the bags pointing out the very large hole!!! so i figure a 100 lt bag i can strap on the back would suit better!
