    Hello,

    Im looking at getting a Alpkit Gourdon 30 but they are currently out of stock.

    Does anyone know what the next best option would be?

    I have an overboard one. Not sure which model. Its my commute bag and has proved perfect in all the rain we have had.I love the fact you can sponge mud off or wipe dry with a towel. Has a roll top with a Velcro fastening.
    Picture and more info to follow once I get up!

    I’ve got Gourdons as well as one of the Overboard ones. The Overboard is much sturdier and more waterproof but nowhere as near as comfortable to cycle with as the Gourdon (dunno if you intended to cycle with it).

    These might be worth a look but they are more like the Overboard than the Gourdon in terms of shoulder straps, etc, but cheaper……

    Lomo # 1

    Lomo # 2

    Also saw this in Kathmandu and it seemed allright but a bit more costly than the Gourdon.

    It’s either a 20 or a 25 and it cost about £40 off amazon.

    The Overboard looks very ortlieb-esk.

    If the alpkit is better for cycling I think ill wait for that one.
