Overview:

These bags are durable and well made.  We bought two of the 4 Liter size.  We attach one on top of each of the Wolfman Medium Dry Bags.  This helps even out the weight on the bike.  We have found using 6″ Monoprice cable ties works like a champ to secure them to the dry bags.  We hang one bag off the bars using a cable tie once at camp which is perfect to wash hands and brush our teeth.  One down fall is that the bags cause the water to have a plastic taste.  Make sure you wash them out with baking soda and water multiple times before use.  Even keep the water and baking soda in the bags for a few days and repeat.  Consider keeping your empty bags in the freezer when not in use to keep mildew from forming.

Notes:  I find that at times when getting off the bike my foot catches the spout.  Just make sure your passenger takes a little extra time to get their foot clear of the cap when getting off the bike.
