Let's talk water proof bags.

Let's talk water proof bags.

This year it came time to retire our Rage Powersports waterproof rolling duffle bags. After 8 years of use supporting a family of 4 they finally gave up and said no more. From the looks of it, they no longer make water proof bags which is unfortunate as they were pretty decent bags for what you paid for them (less than $70).

That said, I'm hoping that maybe someone out there maybe has a suggestion or can point me in the direction of water proof bags large of enough to handle 3-4 people on one trip. The bag we had (pictured) was a 30" rolling duffle so hoping to find something similar at a price point that won't break the bank.

Unfortunately they don't appear to make what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something that can be used as luggage and withstand the elements which is what was nice about our rolling duffel bag. It was large enough to hold four to five days of clothing for four people (compressed) while also being mostly waterproof and easy enough to transport like luggage with a handle and wheels.

The pic below gives an idea of how big our old bag was, that's a 65qt Arb fridge next to it.

There are a couple good options of varying sizes and costs discussed in this thread. Hope this helps.

I ended up with one of these. 20L and orange. Sits right behind the rear driver side seat on the fender.

pricy but you get what you pay for.

Thanks, unfortunately it doesn't look like they have anything large enough to fit our needs. Dimensionally, I'm hoping to find something close in size to a 30" suit case which was about the size of our rolling duffel in the pic's I posted. Not sure if I'll have much luck, but I'm hoping....

Could just wrap them in this.

Fwiw, I'd rather go with two smaller bag and keep people's things separate.

The 105L looks like might be large enough, however I'm looking for something that has wheels and a hand to to make moving around easier. You pack that up with 4-5 days of clothes for 4 people it gets heavy fast.

On a more serious suggestion from my earlier post how about something like this. https://www.calcuttaoutdoors.com/pr...7WP-sFbSxbuObE5lGWzS_StK1T98gK6RoCrB0QAvD_BwE

I'm really looking for something more along the lines of these, although the Big Agnes is quite a bit more than I'd like to spend.

I picked two of these up to stuff under the rear seats, and dammed if I can figure out how the top seals. There’s no draw string, ziplock type seal, nothing.

I believe that type is sealed by the rolls themselves.
