Modifying Drybags

[Alec]

I want to add some webbing loops to a couple of cheap hard wearing drybags (lomo ones) so I can use them with my aeroe rack so. The loops need to be there for the straps to go through so the bag doesn't migrate sideways ways. I don't want to sew them on as I want the bags to stay dry. Would fabric glue work? Any other ideas?
I don't want to pay for the aeroe ones either as I need 4-5 of them.

the alpkit front bags line up with the front mount of the aeroe* - is the rear the same ?

* happy to send some pics if you want a look at it

Looks like they only do them in 20 litre now though

Yes they do line up, but sadly the 20l bags are too big in diameter. I was tempted for the lomo as they only open at one end and are 7.50 each

Buy a roll of this stuff (probably available cheaper elsewhere) then cut a rectangle big enough to sit between the rack and the bag. Cinch down the straps, and the job's jobbed.

Works a treat for handlebar harnesses, too (Wildcat lioness, for example)

I'm following this thread as I've just acquired an Aeroe rack for my fatbike and am also considering drybags. The Aeroe ones are a bit expensive. I've both a 8L and a 13L Alpkit that seem a decent size and shape but they're currently out of stock (and my OCD would kick in if they didn't match ). Lomo was going to be my next port of call, though I've a couple of smaller bags on their way from SportPursuit at the moment too.

In fact, if you can give me the dimensions of the platform, on the aeroe, I'll see if I have an offcut to suit

Thanks for the offer, I think I've got some lying around in the workshop so I'll have a look this weekend and try that idea.

Just an update on this, seen lomo now do tpu drybags, so going to get some of thoes and add loops using some of the tpu and glue I got to repair a packraft.
