Dry Bags

[delsol]

Needing a new dry-bag, the roll bag type.

I'm looking for a larger size bag in the 80-100 litres range.

Low cost would be nice, any recommendations from the BCF ?

This sort of thing pls.

I got this LOMO for the back of the bike and it's been great so far: https://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/dry-bag-holdalls-60L.html. Smaller than you say you want but it seems huge to me. I've not got close to filling it.

I agree with PoB. Two smaller bags are better and easier to pack than one big one.

I have a 70 litre drybag and it is WAY too big to pack on the bike neatly.

Two bags also means you can split your gear so if one of them suffers an incident*, it doesn't trash all your gear.

*eg, burned on exhaust, falling off, rubbing on wheel, getting jammed between the back wheel and the subframe then catching fire (I really recommend avoiding this one!) turning out to have a hole in it and getting wet, exploding beer can, exploding aerosol, coming open. To mention but a few I've had over the years.

I have 1x 30 ltr, 2 x 40 ltr and 1 x 60 ltr lomo bags, and an 89ltr ortleib rack pack. The ortleib is way too big. It would make me feel unsafe trying to do lifesavers while switching lanes on motorways, as it blocks my view.
I'd use the 60 lomo at a push, a 40 lomo is ideal as it doesn't block my rear view in the mirrors.
If I was using 2 bags I'd use a 30 + 40, or 2 x 40's. but atm I'm using 1 x 40 ltr lomo and hard cases

This is my HELD 60L bag attached to the back of my bike (loaded on top of a tent pack).

Quality is good overall. It was very cheap (£32 delivered IIRC) from GetGeared and, when not pushed up high by being on top of the tent, was fine for visibility (albeit I did have to tweak the mirrors outwards a bit)

I have a LOMO 30L which I think is brilliant for the money.

+1 60l lomo

If stuffed, it does block a little the view from the mirrors. But just do more life savers to compensate.

I was thinking it was too big initially, but now I appreciate its versatility. On the SV I can pack it deep, leave the ends clear and made it narrow to avoid blocking mirrors.

On the Striple, the bike is shorter, so I need to pack tall and thin to be able to sit on the bike comfortably. Having the 60L is useful.

Trying to think who and where, but recently saw a LOMO bag mounted longways on the back of someone's bike, so didn't block his mirror view at all. He said it was a 60l, seemed happy enough with it. Might have to get myself one.
