Although for older bikes with metal tanks that Baglux don't make a cover for then I have an Oxford Sports magnetic bag which works well. |

That any fitting tank bag costing less than the eye-watering asking price of $260:rolleyes2: can work fine and you can make it waterproof with one of a huge range of weigh next to noting waterproofing bag.
Especially when the GL states marketing blurb announces that: "Both tank bags are designed be fully waterproof when used with the included Dry Pod inner liner."doh it isn't waterproof on its own. Save your money for fuel and shop around- loads of second hand ones out there. or go buy one on amazon here for 'only' £269.23... import fee included but not UK VAT it seems which could make it £323.07- you could get 2 new tyres for less than...a bag! |
I use the Mosko Moto Hood tank bag: https://moskomoto.eu/collections/mot...32853828141135
Ideal, fully waterproof without a cover, couple of useful internal bags or on its own, it's large enough to take a DSLR or similar camera with a decent lens and the single buckle is easy to operate even with winter gloves on. I'll never again buy a tank bag that's not waterproof without an additional cover. |
Without IRL experience, from the specs and looks, the Mosko Nomax and the Mosko Hood are both at the top of my wish list. I can't decide which one I prefer, maybe because I am looking for different features for different trips.
What I like about the hood is that it has one decent size compartment, has rigid sides and a lid which all makes it is easy to both rumage through and to toss things into - even in flight. One large space accommodates for a greater selection of items - i.e. tossing in a small grocery bag when the rest of your luggage is back at camp. One large compartment comes at the expense of organization through many smaller - but plastic bags, pouches and Tupperware takes care of this (in some ways better than pockets do). What I like about the Nomax is that it also serves as s backpack. Also, although not a rigid style, many pockets keeps the bag firm and doesn't floop too much around when not full. More importantly, whenever I am to leave the bike unattended for more a minute, I like to take along my "all day carry items" and valuables (electronics, keys, paperwork, money, sunglasses, etc). An easy portable back pack style tank bag is perfect for this. I also like to have a backpack that can hold a few shopping items when I run errands. Although a bit on the small side, the Nomax seems adequate enough. How good is the hood for carrying around? |
