[#4092095]

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 [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ortlieb-velocity-rucksack/ ]Ortlieb Velocity?[/url]

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?
