Default Inexpensive Waterproof Duffle Bag Suggestions

I am looking for suggestions on a waterproof duffle bag that I can strap to the passenger seat to hold my camping gear, tent, etc...

I probably need something around 30" x 14" - I am looking for something inexpensive and NOT the Wolfman price range.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks, however I was hoping for something a little cheaper, Sealine zippered waterproof duffle bags are almost the same price as Wolfman $150-$200

Default Wally World bags

Here is a waterproof bag on the Walmart website for $25.

A buddy of mine bought these 2 bags. He set up the big one on the back of his KLR. Not completely waterproof, but might fit your needs.

Nylon gym bag with a heavy-duty trash bag liner. Contents stay dry unless completly submerged.

That's what I do, heavy duty duffle bag, with a yard bag as a liner. Get as much air out of it as you can, roll the top. My Vstrom aint a submarine, it's just gotta handle some rain is all.

Don't know the brand,but Bass Pro has some dry bags for ~$15-20 that have been great for me to get my stuff to where I'm going, then hold ice and beer when I get there.

Pre-Wee, you can see 2 bikes witht he bass pro bags. Touring milk crate sold separately:

keep an eye out at www.sierratradingpost.com
When they have them, a good sized drybag is alot cheaper. I think mine was $60.

I grabbed a NorthFace base camp bag for 60 bucks from TJ Maxx. They normally go for 135. Not sure if they are still there or not.

If you don't mind top stuff there are plenty of regular dry bags that are available for less.
