This is a great and flexible bag to travel with
I bought the large one and it fits perfectly on my CB500X. I could have fitted three times the quantity of clothing I needed for this trip in the bag. I did a 4 days weekend trip totaling 1800 km. This dry bag is as good as it look. It's rugged and very flexible. The ties down are very effectives. I use 2 bungee cords to fix as my pillion rider and it's very stable. We did about 300 km in pouring rain and everything stayed completely dry. It sould give me several year of service.

Bonjour,
J'ai acheté le grand format et je suis très satisfait. J'ai fait un voyage à Manic 5 (1800 km) j'aurai pu mettre 3 fois plus de vêtements que la quantité requise pour le voyage de 4 jours. Je le fixe à l'arrière de mon CB500X avec 2 élastiques et tout reste en place. 300 KM ont été réalisé sous la pluie battante et tout le contenu du sac est resté au sec. Les attaches et la façon de refermer le sac est absolument brillant. Il est robuste et devrait me fournir plusieurs années de service.

Great product
Just came back from a 8000km road trip with a fair bit of heavy rain. These bags kept my gear bone dry! Very easy to set up and compressed very well on my bike. I recommend these bags completely.

Fantastic Value (Grey, 60L)
I purchased the grey 60L for use on my 2019 MT09. I took all of my belongings with me in this bag on a ~700km round trip. I went through a veritable monsoon on my way home for about an hour or two that had me hydroplaning at one point and destroyed my rain jacket of a different brand leaving me soaked and shivering, but this bag kept my stuff completely dry. I was shocked. I even only folded the top twice because of all the things I brought (opposed to the recommended three times).
I have brought this bag with me camping, so it serves more than one purpose. The integrated straps are an amazingly convenient feature. The modular setup for additional bags looks promising, but I did not use this. The price is excellent for the quality.
If you have an MT09, I highly suggest getting a carrying rack. I cheaped out and brought this bag with me with no rack and was very cramped after a few hours of riding, and will not be doing that again.
If you are concerned about which size to get (35L vs 60L), the material is very flexible and can be manipulated to a smaller size and secured with the straps if all of the space is not used. I recommend the bigger bag. It is more economical to get the bigger one than to get a small one and purchase another bag as a modular upgrade.

Keeps things dry,and easy to install!
With a wetter than normal spring this year, i needed a better way to keep some clothes dry. This bag does the trick! Its got tons of storage in it (I bought the Medium Bag), and I installed it on the pillion seat. Moves around alittle bit when hard braking/accel, but dont notice it much at all (Next time I will put a piece of rubber matting under the bag to prevent this)
Only used it for 4 days, so the bag doesnt show any wear. Hoping to get a few years out of this bag, and from the looks of the construction, i definately should.

Great bang for buck!
I have used this 60L bag for 1 month now and have used it extensively for everyday groceries, camping, etc. Very handy D rings and strapping method and very rugged. I was involved in a slow speed crash on a gravel road in which the dry bag took some of the brunt of the fall, it suffered minor scratches and didn't come off! Highly recommend this dry bag! The only small negative is the opening is a bit deceiving as it makes it look like you can pack a whole lot of stuff but then the 3 turns to close it require quite a bit more material than you think, but again very minor and you learn to use it as it is.

60L is a lot
I got this to store all of a tent, extra stakes, air mattress, sleeping bag, tarp, air pump, big sponge. Thus all the camping gear is in one dry bag. Awesome. 60L is a lot!
Pros:
-stretch tensioning adjustable top straps,
-high attachment points allow tensioning even with near to the base tie points (unlike nelson rigg which are very low).
-a foot of Velcro holds the opening in place while rolling.
-Very convenient handles (a lot less annoying than the shoulder strap which is always in the way, but provided).
Cons:
-not using cam buckles like nelson rigg (tension may loosen)
-base is not re-enforced nor anti-slip.

Well made, durable bags.
I went with the 600 model vs the 350 since the price difference of about $20 makes the ability to carry an additional 25L make more sense. If you don't need that much space it easily flattens down so it's not a bulky mess like empty panniers.
Included is all the straps needed to tie this bag down and it works great. I keep the straps on my bike at all times and then hook them onto each other to carry other luggage like my hiking pack when this Drybag isnt needed on a day trip.
The large mouth makes finding gear super easy, however you cant over stuff this bag unlike the SW-Motech 250 end loading bags. I use these and the smaller SW motech bags for camping regardless of travelling by bike or truck.

Have a 2015 Honda VFR800. Should I purchase a rack, or will it fit ok on the rear seat?
I have one of the larger sizes and put it on the back seat. A smaller version would fit on a rack. It comes with tie downs to hold it on the bike.
Personally I use Rok straps to hold mine on the bike-easy on and off.

Will the 60L hold most camping gear on the back of my KLR 650 and still allow a passenger to ride on the bike?
Hey Cliff, the 60 litre has tons of room for gear, but will be difficult to fasten to the KLR with a passenger - too long. If you have saddle bags, you could run the bags across the KLR's big tail rack and have supported by the panniers on the ends. Good luck! jh

Where is it made?
My bag produced in 2015 was made in China.

Will the medium size bag fit on a Kawaski Z125?
I think so, these are great bags!

I want to fasten this to the rear carrier on a 2015 KLR 650. I want to carry a couple of inner tubes, tools, tire spoons, an electric tire pump, and my rain suit in it. Will the medium size bag be big enough to do this? Thank you.
Inner tubes, tools, tire spoons, and an electric tire pump can generally fit into a medium-sized tail bag without any issues. However, the rain suit might take up more space depending on its size and material.
Regarding the rain suit, if it's a compact and foldable one, it should be manageable in a 35 L bag. However, if the rain suit is large or bulky, it might be a tight fit or might not fit entirely in the medium-sized bag.

How do you think this would be mounting on a sport bike? I have a GSXR 600 that I am planning on using for a bit of a trip this year.
If you get the one I have, it's huge! I put it across the back seat over top of saddle bags. If you just strap in onto the rear seat it will sag down on the sides. It does hold a lot, and keeps it dry.

Looking for a bag like this for a 2007 Triumph Daytona 675 but my only issue is that the exhaust comes straight out the back under the seat. Was not sure if you attach this under the seat or to the rear foot pegs and if it would get enough clearance
No confirmed fitments, however here are the instructions for installation: Place the bag on the passenger seat or luggage carrier. Fix the two front straps on suitable mounting points (e.g. passenger footrests). I don't see why you couldn't install this on your bike.
