My XT cost more than my Rotax. Just saying......
All my hard luggage leaked. They're not as waterproof as people make out to be. Key with all luggage is to have stuff that absolutely can't get waterproof stored in a waterproof roll top closure bag. Who cared if your shampoo case gets wet so long as my sleeping bag doesn't. Don't even care if my tent is wet. Pack your stuff smartly and you can get away with cotton shopping bags. On a side note, all my waterproof inner bags were torn at the end of the trip because of the rubbing and pulling them in and out of hard luggage. Not so with soft. After a repair job you can also say bye bye to keeping your gear waterproof (even with innner bags) with hard. With soft unless I'm not sure. Haven't had a good run of gravel rash with them yet. Anyone?
Ted, you've got to crash harder. What the repair plan for shattered givi's? Has anyone cracked a pelican case?
