They seem pretty good for their price. Can hold a fair amount too. And, a lot more comfortable than a full rucksack-use mine to carry a change of clothes, and trainers. The only way that it seems to effect riding though is not being able to tuck in behind the screen, bit obvious really!! Other than that, you can still throw the bike around a fair bit. Can even rest your chin on it, when its fully extended/loaded up.

i got one a few years ago. there far from waterproof so if its wet make sure the contents are wrapped up in placcy bag, also with any tankbag using magnets to attach to the bike you can expect them to pick up the odd bit of metal crud that will over time ruin ya paint work...

i also had the bottom disintergrate in the first year, but if you know someone who is good with a needle and thread its easy to fix...

i would say all in all that they are a bargen

I bought one in Lidl, two, maybe three years ago when then were £8! I'm still using it. I invested in one the current £14 versions (very similar) a couple of weeks ago. It'll sit in the grage until the original packs up. I have a piece on non-slip matting under mine, cut to shape, to protect the tank.

i like the way it has all the features of a more expencive bag, 2 map holders, rucksak straps, built in waterproof cover, ive had a ride round with it on and it seems great value for money.

I've had a LIDL tank bag for a few years now. No complaints but for
some reason I still prefer the backpack.

i got one last year, for the price it's vety good, just make sure you put some wonderweb underneath it as the magnets are really strong, other wise you'll av another job polishing your tank if it rubs, and we all know how you like to clean and polish.;)

The wonder web stuff looks like the same as the anti slip stuff 99p on sale from Morissons from time to time, a tad cheaper that the pukka item but if it does the job thats good enough. Don't rule out cling film either as a few layers of that can help.
