platypus-
I've had no issues with my Viscachas. I also don't understand this pack/unpack thing - you ram everything in, then when you want something you put the back wheel between legs or lean the bike, unwrap and throw your hand in to grab the thing the other hand can hold up and open the bag to make sure nothing falls out, put on saddle, roll up. I can't believe I'm explaining how to use a bag... then again I did see something in the meme thread that showed a 20yo person didn't realise you could wait for the shower to warm up before getting in.

I don't like saddle bags. I don't like the sway when you're out of the saddle , I don't like the crazy packing/unpacking rigmarole. I don't like the incompatibility with dropper posts, I don't like limited space, I don't like the ignominy of trying to swing your leg over your saddle.
Therefore I want to be a bag on rack guy. I've tried a couple of different sizes of dry bag and they've been okay but I think I want a 25l slim waterproof rucksack instead. Something that will hold its form when strapped down to a rack.
Is the answer always Ortlieb?
