The ordinary ones are still available.... although out of stock until March

But March isn't that far away now. I was looking for small Airlok but they only start as 3L now :sad:

Yeah, I know. I was just trying to see if there was an alternative seeing as they are out of stock.

Sorry, when you said they only had the Tivaro's and alliterative I read it as you hadn't spotted the normal ones.

What about using a 12L Airlok inside your current bags? You could then leave the 13L ones with the straps threaded though and just remove the inner bag with all your kit in.

Yeah, we have been doing that with our snozzle dry bags which works ok, but I don't want them to get rubbed through too long-term. Most of the rubbing comes from the headtube anyway and both Joe and I have moved to handlebars with the extra bikepacking bar at the front, so the bags won't rub so much from here on.
