TPU 20ish litre drybags

I've got numerous Alpkit drybags but I'm after something harder wearing to fix onto my Aeroe rack.

20 litres

Any ideas?

I have a Dub BB on my Broken Rd that must have done 7000 miles, same on Tom's bike.

Though I have never had issues with bottom bracket bearings. I've a cheap ISIS BB that must have done 6000 miles.

Inuit hi-tech clothing.

I've seen two of these seal gut jackets in the last couple of weeks, which must be a sign.

From a distance they look like DCF which I guess is why they caught my eye. The earliest date from 5000 years ago.

Six Moons Designs Gatewood Cape & Serenity Nest

I bought this combo earlier this year 2nd hand (little used) as an option for this summer's accommodation but ended up using my Lunar Solo. There have been a couple of mods. Notably, a couple of extra guy points on the cape and a couple of lifting loops on the nest. £180 please which is what I paid ...

Stuart Allan is doing well on his fixed gear ride of the HT550.
