Morning all

I've just bought a couple of Salsa Anything HD cages for the forks on my Rooster ready for Cairngorms Loop in May again , looking at the salsa dry bags and they seem fairly steep in price for what they are , are people using an alternative ? Obviously needs to be waterproof and around 5 ltrs in size

Cheers

Gorilla Cage dry bag? http://www.cyclemiles.co.uk/shop/access ... qjU3p-nzMI
Still quite expensive though.
Otherwise any dry bag such as Alpkit, etc.

Just a thought, haven’t tested the idea; however, how about an exped dry bag?

I spotted PlanetX have some 5L Pod drybags that look like they'd be ideal.

Did you miss the bit where the Salsa ones were thought to be too expensive?

there, think I've redeemed my tight yorkshireman credentials now

I use the Alpkit bags with little loop things on the sides to attach. They aren't fully dry anymore, duct tape patches, but I just pack carefully.....

how about this.....?

Tesco freezer bags on one side
exped dry bag on 'tother.

The Decathlon "Itiwit" 5L ones are great, perfect size for a Blackburn cage so assume they would work in the Salsa ones too.

Had a couple of the podsac delivered yesterday after Stu told me about them , they are really well built delivery for some reason was next day and for a fiver each I'm well chuffed ,if you absolutely stuff them they are a little too wide for gorrilas cages but I can get a helium bivy ,exped down mat lite ,and DD superlight s tarp in one with no problems
