finnerz89 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Might give the trousers a go, as my current ones are very nearly in bits. Are the linings removable Drew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captf Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Tank bag. Initial impression. I'd estimate it's got about a 10l capacity. Has a transparent window, as well as an additional waterproof cover that you can put over it, if needed. Magnets seem quite secure, but I've not been able to test it on the road: the bag is a bit big for the YBR, so doesn't fit snuggly. Comes with an assortment of removable straps, with loops at the end - the noob in me doesn't have a clue what you'd loop them to. There's a further one at the bottom, which I assume is for strapping around yourself: in case the magnets come loose. And, there's a carry handle on top. The transparent window is on the coverflap, and it has a slot(?) that you can place your phone/satnav into and be able to see it. Finger presses do work through the screen, but they're not incredibly responsive. Overall, for £13, it seems decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have a loop to go around the steering head and straps to go under the tank or use to carry on the shoulder. I don't know about these ones but don't strap yourself to it because it could be dangerous in an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captf Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 They wouldn't fit around the shoulders [like a normal rucksack. They're just a reasonably small loop. The length of the entire strap is adjustable to about 4 foot... which is what confuses the hell out of me. Realising though, the other strap, that I thought was for around yourself, would be for going round the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted March 8, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2015 the slot is for a thing called a map, I know they are quite rare nowerdays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captf Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Na, it's an extra slot in the whole flap thing. An alcove, of sorts. It's in the centre of that bit. I'd post pictures, but I'm lazy (: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Went looking, myself. Gloves don't come in sizes big enough that I could even get them on. Trousers and jacket were nice enough, especially for a first set... but their solidity comes from being heavily made and they don't have enough of the features I like to make me buy either... Jacket was nonetheless very tempting and I might pop back for a second look. Don't appear to be Winter-intended, though. Wasn't too interested in the rest, although the chain lock looked quite decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
