I agree with mark and I'm a big fan of Baglux.

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.

Would (also) love to hear recommendations. Are there any good waterproof tank bags?

The Nomax (formerly Nomad) comes with a waterproof cover, easy to fold and stow away. It's a fantastic bag, all well organized, sorted, easily and rapidly accessible, converts into a small backpack, + if you carry limited quantity of stuff it doubles as a water tank. Simple, efficient, nicely designed, a game changer as far as I'm concerned. I sold my SW-EVO and the Touratech Ambato. Those tank bags are very good, but I would only use them to carry a camera for example, which is no longer required given the quality of picture you get using a mobile phone nowadays. mI love my Mosko Moto bag... and I have a pico for the EXC-F.

I don't actually have that tank bag, because my current tank bag works good enough, but if I were going to get one, I would go with the Giant Loop Fandango model. It has organizers inside. You can zip it on and off of its harness which seems like a great feature for camping when you want to take inside your tent with you. It would also work well for hotels.

Scrolling through here spotted this post. I'm gonna agree with the GL Fandabbydozy tank bag. A tad pricey but an excellent bag that ticks all the quality boxes and is a great fitment on traily type bikes with narrower tanks. Big thumbs up here...[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

consider this
 
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?
