Waterproof Duffle Bag

[zenwhipper]

Anybody got good recommendations for waterproof dufflebag? I have an old REI textile bag that is getting pretty old. I use your typical cylindrical duffle bag to span the two side cases over the seat. I am looking for waterproof as to not worry about the rains I may run into.

Thanks Mates!

Picked up a medium black Ortlieb on sale from South Sound a couple years ago. Nice bag, excellent construction and holds a ton of stuff. This bag, in combination with a Givi V46 would allow me to live off the bike forever, or at least until the $$$ runs out... :lol:

This Seattle Sports has served me well over the years.

I bought one of these. It's huge and well made.

That's pretty sweet. Does it truly keep the water out?

I use a Twisted Throttle Dry Spec D38 https://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/7026/181/

Got a lot of soaking earlier this year, never leaked a drop!

These pics were taken when it was new. I now mount it 'side to side' instead of 'front to back'.

Used it for overnight fishing/camping trips.

I've floated around in the bottom of a boat, thrown it in the river and it's kept my stuff dry.

The Dry Pak duffel is widely available and costs about $40 in size Large which is 24 x 12 on the base and 15" high. It fits across the back seat perfectly and is very very waterproof. I've used one on a couple cross country trips and had great results and durability. I tie it down with a couple Rok Straps.

I've also used the Ortlieb in all 3 sizes and never had one leak; good choice for a side loader, IMHO. Also used the Seal Line end loader and had the same success with it. Both available at Aerostitch:

We use Helen two wheels. The bags are simple and durable. I have used these bags for years and years.

Wolfman.Small Expedition Dry Duffel holds a bunch. Comes with two straps that I run under the rear seat front to back to tie the bag to the seat. Has side straps that run can be run over givi trunk mount bracket to hold bag from side to side movement. If your arms are long

enough it also serves as a back rest. It saw lots of rain recently and no leaks were noticed. Link

I use a Seattle Sports 2500 that's going on 5 years and still watertight. The come in larger sizes too.

I like the ammo loops on this one. I'd stuff them full of 12 gauge for full effect.

As you can see, there are lots of options out there. Here's the one I use:

Another happy Ortleib user. I've had mine for about a decade -- little longer, I think. It's been through everything but a blizzard. It absolutely does not leak.

Same as Kamal, I use the D-38 Dry spec bag, has the tie downs, and is waterproof, a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and you can also buy the additional bag that attaches to the top for even more room. :good:

I've always liked the looks of those but I'm not quite willing to spend the money. I ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00644OLLU/ref=aw_d_var_2nd_sporting-goods_txt?vs=1

We'll see how it works.

Why bother spending the big bucks on waterproof? I just use a heavy duty contractor plastic trash bag inside the duffle bag and everything inside is dry.
