  • What waterproof kit bag for commuting?

    My faithful old rucksack with loose foldaway waterproof cover has blown it’s zips. So after a new waterproof bag for commuting.
    Can’t do panniers as alternate between the MTB and roadbike, and neither have a rack.
    So after a ruck sack or courier bag type thing.

    Any fully waterproof options being used and rated that do not have a waterproof cover to fit and worry about?

    alpkit gourdon. not the most featured (or expensive bag) but it is waterproof. one with the pockets is useful.

    I would have said maybe the Deuter DS18 rucksack but they don’t make them anymore! What about an Ortlieb Velocity?

    I use these -> http://www.trakke.co.uk/

    Roomy and not a drop of water has got in despite being in Scotland.

    It would appear though that the website has gone tits up.

    +1 for the Alpkit, its gotta be the best value for money by a country mile and fit for purpose too!

    alpkit or timbuk2 mavericks

    I’ve been using the mavericks for 2 years – bombproof and very waterproof and you can carry a lot of stuff (inc laptop).

    Thanks all. The alpkit looks great for the price. Is it tough enough for everyuday though? Will it last? Or is it a plastic backed material that will delaminate over time?
