Need some new dry bags ahead of the WRT

Alpkits poor stock management means they are out of the thicker Xtra's. Anyone else who makes something similar and robust?

Lomo's are pretty tough, even the light weight ones. They do tend to be longer/thinner than some others though.

For the WRT i'll manage, but i'll probably need 2, 8 litre ones for summer.

I tend to find i put holes in the standard Airlocks, but the Xtra's seem to take a lot more punishment. Might give the Exped ones a go.

See me at WRT, without going out to the garage I reckon I can sort you out 2x8L XTra's.

I've got some exped ones and would describe them as between the standard airlock's and the airlock Xtra's if that helps.
