Tillamook Dry Bag

I bought a Tillamook for our first touring trip when we got back into motorcycling. At first I wasn't sure how the end loading and rolling shut feature would work out. It turned out to be an excellent bag. You can get access from either end which beats rummaging around or pulling everything out to get at the one thing you need. We rode through 8 solid hours of rain and nothing got the least bit damp. I wish I could say the same thing about a different "Marine Dry Bag" we bought en route. We may as well have wrapped our stuff in window screen. So for our next trip I ordered another Tillamook and, like the first one, it has been excellent in every way. Be sure to order some Pronghorn straps to tie it down. They are the best I have ever used. You can connect them end to end to make them longer if needed. Nothing comes loose or shifts even on thousand mile trips.

Great Bag! Love the ease of setup/use!

I’ve owned the Tillamook bag for over a year and have taken it on multiple camping trips. It fits well on my dual sport and ADV bike and has kept my belongings secure on long stretches of highway and technical dirt roads. It’s kept everything inside perfectly dry through rain, sleet, and snow storms. I also appreciate how easy to clean it is…I just hose it down after a particularly dusty ride. I haven’t strapped any other (Giant Loop or otherwise) bags to it, but it seems set up well for that. I find being able to load from each end to be super helpful for packing and accessing what’s inside without having to take the bag off the bike. The only thing I’d change — it would be great to have an easier way to tie up the loose ends after pulling all of my straps tight.

Fantastic top bags, I use them on top of my Round the world panniers, they lock on top with no slippage and snap off in seconds. They hold a lot. They are completely water proof and super rugged. GLs sewing and materials are the best, super beefy and well made. The best I’ve ever used, and have held up to very aggressive off-road conditions. 5 stars!!

I had a top opening duffel (Enduristan Tornado), but it was sometimes hard to stuff full and close, especially if you have a down sleeping bag as it was hard to get the three folds and squeeze the air out with an uncompressed sleeping bag being top opening along the length of the bag, I decided to replace the top opening duffel with the Tillamook, as you can pack the Tillamook like a backpack and then squeeze all the air out with the purge valve. I throw my sleeping bag in without the stuff sack, followed by my sleeping pad and tent in the order I get them out to set up camp. It makes packing/unpacking super quick, and everything compresses to fill the space neatly, exactly like backpackers pack their backpacks. I am extremely happy with switching to the Tillamook. It's 48 litres which I initially thought may be too big for my needs, but it packs down much smaller if you don't use all the space. The extra attachment points and webbing are well thought out. The inbuilt bike attachment straps are convenient and make it extremely quick to put the bag on/off the bike. It is exceptionally well built and durable. The material makes it easy to wash down mud/dust after a long ride. As others have pointed out, the only criticism I have is it would be great if the bag came as standard with elastic strap keepers to keep all the straps tidy. It's a minor complaint, and you can buy them off Amazon. Still, almost all the other premium luggage manufacturers provide strap keepers as standard, and it is only the real complaint I have over an otherwise fantastic bag.
