Default saddle bag

last summer i used leather sadle bags i ended up in the rain sevral times even wrapping everything in plastic garbage bags they seem to get wet or feel verry damp & even worse if u forget about them for a few days ugg what a smell so this year i got fiberglass set hop the work better then leather so anyone who uses the let me know if the keep the rain out or do i half to rap in plastic i know as for room they will be smaller but keeping the rain off the skivvies will be worth it i hope

Pencil boxes work well, also rubbermaid boxes or tupperware will seal out water a drier sheet in the bottom will take care of any odors. Plastic coffee cans fit great in a roll bag too.

Use large zip lock bags. Carry spares for dirty stuff. Probably a good idea even if the new bags are better.
