My old river bags have started to get holes on them, so I was looking for a reasonably priced replacement. I found the Dry Pak units at Dicks Sporting Goods. I got the XL size (about 70 liters) and the L size (about 50 liters). I recently took the L size on the road for my cross country trip. I prefer to put all the stuff I'll be taking into the motel room into a bag and strap it on the back seat. This bag went through numerous, lengthy frog drownings and other abuses in 13 days on the road. The L size was $54.99 and it is one of the best pieces of gear I have gotten in a long time. It loads from the top, has a stiff lip to roll over to seal it and excellent fastex fasteners to secure the ends. It has nice rigid bottom so it does not droop over the saddle and rub the saddlebags when strapped down. It comes with two handles that velcro together and a nice shoulder strap also. My stuff inside the bag never even got damp regardless of how hard or long it was raining. The bag shows no signs of wear after the constant strapping/unstrapping, blowing in the wind, hauling it in and out, etc. If you are looking for a good dry bag at a reasonable price, this may be for you.
