Looking for a long narrow drybag
Hello Campers, following the Monkii see thread, I've come up with a cunning plan involving using a couple of these http://shinglas.com/images/roof_compone ... /homut.jpg on my forks but can't find a long narrow drybag to hold my Exped mat. It needs to have a layflat width of 180mm and length of 480mm. Anyone know of a supplier?
Re: Looking for a long narrow drybag
The 13ltr Ortliebs I use are only ten mm bigger diameter and not far off on length. I use the medium weight, but the light weights are a nice fabric too.
Re: Looking for a long narrow drybag
I agree, Ortlieb are the skinniest ones I've seen. Currently working on fork mount dry bags and would buy some of them but already have a couple of alpkit 8L so just gonna use them.

Re: Looking for a long narrow drybag
Looking at the Ortlieb ones, they measure the filled diameter at 190mm, I need an empty layflat dia of 180mm which gives a filled dia of around 120-130mm. I think I may be looking for something that doesn't exist.
Re: Looking for a long narrow drybag
Might go against the grain but could you not just use a rubble sack? Cheap and waterproof but maybe not aesthetic.
Re: Looking for a long narrow drybag
nope, couldn't find anything quickly.

Lomo (already mentioned) are close and cheap; http://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/dry-b ... _355.html.
The MYOG option is to get an old pair of waterproof trousers, see if your mat fits in one of the legs, and then stitch one end up, add some buckles and edging to the other.

Outdoor research does some narrow ones. Not rolltop though so would leak. I've used it to carry my tent a few times.
