Been using my Lomo bag for a few years now in preference to my 90ltr thing, much more convenient with the side opening, and stops me taking too much jun.. er stuff.

I've got one of those 40 ltr lomo bags and think it's superb! I got that one cos it opens side to side as opposed to one end. I find it a lot easier to fill/empty.

Or you could go for the original Dry Bags Ortlieb http://www.ortlieb.co.uk/

I have Just seen the prices of the otlieb bags wow
I know they are very good I had 1 in the Army years a go at least 8 years?
it had been thrown out of Helicopters/Planes & bounced around in landrovers
Bedford's & Rigid Raiders & Never ever let me down.
2 years a go I brought a new bag but yellow this time my original was Black.

I suppose the length of service it gave me, I probably would pay the 'extra'
like they say you pay's your money and take your chance, I notice some of
the other dry bags only heat seal or only tape seal.
worth reading the Spec first.

BTW I still have some of them 40 ltr Dry Bag's from Aldi if any one is interested

Thanks for the links guys. The Lomo bag looked a good buy until they charged over £17 for delivery to Spain! Overboard ask for only £5.99 - but they sold out of their excellent 60 litre duffel bag and have dropped the line :( while I was divering over replaceing the one that I melted on the way to Portugal in July - I won't forget the handy hit about the reinforcing plank!

In the meantime it's back to the drawing the oversized dry sac from last year!

Cheers

ortleib bags from ortleib or a retailer are expensive but shop around and be creative online and you will be surprised how cheap you can get them, especially "last years" models.

i also got 2 of those 40ltr bags from aldi, i dont need them but at that price it was silly not to get them when i saw them. quality compares ok with ortleib as does the cheapo 'milcom' 110ltr bag (yes, ive got an even bigger one!) i bought on fleabay. its a big waterproof bag to strap on the bike, it doesnt need any frills

Just ordered a 40l one.
Now need a petsitter for the Simmer weekend :laugh:

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.

You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.

And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....

....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.

Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;

Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"
