Gravity dear boy would have a hold on you if you were a domestic cat in such a situation. You would roll slowly towards the closure and then edge your way out of the bag.</p> <p>The only exception would be if @morningsider had been employed to roll the closure shut. The impeccable nature of @morningsider’s roll top closure technique is worth an OBE in my book. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340552 Sun, 22 Nov 2020 09:32:16 +0000 I were right about that saddle 340552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What about something actively spiky like a domestic cat? Would that fall out? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340548 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 23:03:33 +0000 gembo 340548@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Iamrunbox do one for ten times the price. (Well 299 euros) also straps on to your bike and is called Bike Box. Looks like everyth8ng would fall out and then it would fall off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340536 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 20:21:03 +0000 mercury1and2 340536@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks all - Lomo white for Santa- I do hope I have been good </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340514 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 13:36:24 +0000 14Westfield 340514@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another vote for the Lomo rucksac: it has taken my work kit on the motorbike in awful conditions - and always kept it dry to the other end </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340505 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 10:48:27 +0000 ejstubbs 340505@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Alpkit also do the <a href="https://alpkit.com/collections/backpacks/products/gourdon-20">Gourdon 20 litre</a> drybag rucksac. It's a fraction over your budget but seems to be well regarded. It used to be exactly what it says in the blurb: a drybag with straps. It has evolved a little over time, and now has mesh side pockets and zig-zag bungee cords across the back (?front?) which I imagine could be useful for stashing lightweight wet gear away from the stuff you want to keep dry (or indeed vice versa, if the wet stuff is inside the pack). Actually the Gourdon 25 litre is closer to the philosophy of the original Gourdon, having none of the external stashing features, but is more expensive than the 20 litre. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340500 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 10:18:38 +0000 I were right about that saddle 340500@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aha yes the white one has RiDE best buy. That is a serious recommendation. I have quite a bit of RiDE recommended stuff - socket set, torque wrench and waterproofs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340495 Sat, 21 Nov 2020 09:46:34 +0000 I were right about that saddle 340495@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent thread somebody read my mind. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340491 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 23:14:46 +0000 gembo 340491@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@cyclops, you do see that white one a fair bit. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20411#post-340490 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 23:01:49 +0000 Cyclops 340490@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://lomo.co.uk">LOMO</a> have few dry bag rucksacks at that price.
