Decent waterproof backpack
Discussion
Cheers guys.
I'm on a tight budget to be honest otherwise I'd invest in a bit more of a 'premium' bag. At the moment I have an Oxford 30L bag that I use for commuting and light touring. It's been good - ideal size to put my work clothes, lunch, shoes etc in. But both zips have shat themselves.
This isn't the first time I've been let down by zips on branded products so I've opted for a 'zipless' bag..
Couple of suggestions for those Lomo drybags, they're ideal, unfortunately only Amazon have a couple in stock and they're hi-viz, which I really don't like - the white one would've been ideal.
So I've just ordered this:

Same design, seems to have really good reviews. I only need it to be waterproof for the TT in a couple weeks as there's a chance we could get caught in heavy-ish rain and I don't want my spare clothes and stuff getting soaked.
Otherwise it'll just do as a 'throw everything in' summer commuting bag as for evening / weekend riding I just take my phone and wallet.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll let you know how it is when it arrives.

Need some actual waterproofs now.
I have some waterproof boots, they're not the best sports boots but for the TT they'll probably fare better than my Alpinestars which are heavily ventilated.
As I've only got leathers I'm looking at an oversuit, this seems good VFM and the reviews are favourable, any comments?
