Ortlieb Rack-Pack Dry Bag

[streetdoc]

In getting ready for the SRR and an up coming IBA 50CC attempt, I was looking for a waterproof gear bag. I looking at what others were using with both within the motorcycle community and other outdoor activity groups. I found the Ortlieb Rack-Pack on several sites and it looked to be high quality and had a unique opening for packing in comparison to the other dry bags. I settled the the X-Large size (28 x 15.7 x 15.7) what I really like about this bag is that it loads from the side instead of from the end like most bags.
I was able to fit my tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, chair, some other misc gear and cloths inside. The ride up to the SRR was a little wet on Friday but all of my gear stayed dry. It fit very nicely across the back seat over the saddlebags of my R1100RS. If you are looking for a new gear bag I would highly recommend this bag.
Here's a couple of links if you want to look at more details.

I've used one of these bags for 12 years both on the bike and also as checked baggage on a plane. Just now starting to show signs of wear (at the rolled edge where it is most stressed). Never any leakage and easy to attach to bike with included straps and a heavy duty back-up bungee. Highly recommended. Scott

I bought one from REI, a little cheaper (not much) but same concept. It opens up on the top. It's a nice way to carry and keep your gear dry!

Or, don't ride in the rain. It's cheaper all round.

Max would fit in there quite nicely too. Need airholes though.

Wouldn't it then be called a Body Bag? Or would it be called a Doggie Bag?
