I have been using one for the last 7 years, excellent bit of kit and still waterproof

What else can you say about a huge bag.

I have 2 x 40l and 1 x 60l, never used the 60l but the others are fantastic.

Been using 2 x 40l roll bags for years now and they have never let me down. I highly recommend them.

I have used my 60 lt a lot it’s very good and if I’m on my own I just fold it up to make smaller and strap on bike

I have the 60l roll top holdall and its great. For the money it's hard to beat.

However I few years back I took a punt on an even bigger hold all from Crane of Aldi and its even better and it was only a tenner! The zips and straps have taken all manner of punishment and the material is super thick.

Agree on the Crane bags--especially with the central roll top and all the straps--mine have taken all kinds of wear, and when they came up again I bought another as a spare (when eventually required). I have the LOMO soft panniers--not as good as Ortlieb but bigger with better and longer cross strapping--work well as long as you are not flinging the bike up a trail--and great value--I note made in China (as is everything these days that is reasonable quality at a good price.)

As all have already said, huge, waterproof and versatile. Mine was the bright yellow one, handy for car drivers to notice. But it is huge, so big that it blocked the mirror rear views when used across the rack/seat! Since given away to a friend

Most folk on here rave about them. I think they're shit personally. Like someone else said, they hole really easily. The material is thin as paper. That's why they're cheap.
Much better off with Crane and the thicker truck tarp type ones.

I can’t remember which size I had but I reckon that they’re great.
I used one on the back of the sidecar for my 28,000 mile America’s trip.
There was plenty of torrential rain in Central America and the Bag didn’t leak at all.

Surprised to see my post reposted as someone’s own??
