A fab four…
Oxford Aqua B-25 Hydro £64.99
Not the biggest bag but, it is, the driest. And the Aqua B25 doesn’t lack features either – there’s an easy clean rubberised outer with welded seams and an outer pocket with a waterproof zip. This bag has clearly been designed to keep stuff dry when the weather is at its worst. It also packs height-adjustable waist straps, external mesh pockets and a roll-top closure for the main compartment.
Kriega R30 £175
Kriega have a reputation for being the best bag brand out there. The high price is backed by a stout ten-year warranty which shows clear belief in the bombproof nature of this product. The R30 is the only guaranteed waterproof option in the Kriega line-up and it has a roll top closure and removable white liner. It’s also expandable with their Usdrypack range and distributes weight perfectly across the chest.
Knox Studio rucksack £74.99
A beautifully designed bag that’s more purposeful than its looks suggests. Once again, the formula of roll top and waterproof main compartment is at its core, but there are also three deep waterresistant pockets on the outside and a helmet holding strap. The rubber studded leather bottom features Knox MICROLOK armour to give your prized possessions a bit of impact protection. Fully adjustable shoulder, wais and chest straps give plenty of options to alleviate pressure from your arms.
Oxford Sports Handy Sack £22.99
It isn’t waterproof but it’s perfect if you need to carry something in a pinch. The thin, lightweight construction means it packs away small, and its modest price means it’s perfect for stashing under your seat.
Just in case. A choice of belt loops or a clip can be used to secure it anywhere you fancy. When unfurled it has a large main compartment, a key pocket and a drawstring helmet carrier. A versatile option.
