I am not for sure what the numbers are in the brackets. I guess I will have to contact them.

I am looking to take about a 5 day trip and wondering if I can get the clothing I will need into the bags. Then I was going to use them day to day to travel back and forth to work carring a laptop and breifcase. Would this choice be the most functional or are there any other sugestions?


Kendall: Looks like mag10 has those bags and you could pm him for specifics. I use my bags for auxilliary storage on trips and I have always had a tailbag or trunk as real luggage. One sdaddlebag has my rain gear and warmer gloves. The other has tools and shoes while i'm riding, boots when i'm not. with the jumbo bags there's room for a sweater, water bottles, whatever else i need in the day, but the tailbag or trunk are where tomorrow's socks live. Note that these are NOT small bags: You can easily put a couple of sixpacks in each side - This is just the way I roll. example tail bag

In town I'd use the bags for random small items but probably not my laptop. If it was padded well enough to feel safe it probably wouldn't fit. the odd time i brought it with me i carried it in a backpack or bungeed it to the passenger pad.

So, my advice: get modest size saddle bags and get a small tailbag (well under $100) that can come inside with you at night for your trip. Find another solution for the laptop (I have an obus laptop backpack you'd be welcome to).
