Posted: 19:08 - 30 Nov 2017 Post subject: Keeping things dry? |
|
|
Summertime is over and any idea of touring is out of my mind.
However I still think about what’s next!
On my trips out this year I used my dry-sacks to good effect.
But my sleeping bag is a bit big to go into a dry-sack.
So my question is how do you lot keep your sleeping bags dry whilst traveling on your tours.
No I don’t want to use a black bin bag, I’m looking for a more permanent solution.
Black bin bags are to easy to tear.
Ideas please oh mighty BCF ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Black bin bags are easy to tear, but rubble bags last aaages ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

LOMO bags I'm told are seriously waterproof? Seabags?
Kriega stuff is fully waterproof (thus far). ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

This can be as simple as bolting a top box to your seat (I'm selling one cheaply) and buying a spare seat.
But what you're looking for are Kayak bags. Mine was fine until the webbing broke and it went under my back wheel. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

+1 for Lomo, mine has been on a few trips now (probably about 10K miles worth) and, while the straps are starting to pull away because the bungees have been a bit tight sometimes, it still has plenty of life in it and hasn't leaked a drop.
Because this is a pepperami thread here is a picture of it in the Pyrenees on my CB250, on the way back from Sierra Nevada near the bottom of Spain

As you can see, it's big but it's not quite too big. There's still enough room to sit on the seat. I keep the tent in there along with a memory foam pillow, sleeping bag, air bed and clean clothes which gradually migrate into the top box when I can't bear to wear them any more. Not only does it keep the stuff dry but it's a good way to keep heavy things in a place that doesn't upset the bike too much. Fairly marvellous all round really. Lomo also do a roll top back pack which is pretty good, though there are an awful lot of clips and dangly bits to get tangled up in. ____________________ 1994 CB250, 1984 CBX250RS-E, 1989 K100RS, 1995 TRX850, 2016 Z250SL |
