So the bag was heavy too... well it will happen.

Also it doesn't move around at speed, and whilst not waterproof is pretty good at keeping things dry. One of the zip tags has come off but that's all. At speed, I like leaning on it!!! I would recommend them.

You know it has it's own rain cover in the zip pocket at the front right? Or maybe the ones this year are different from the ones last year. I went and looked at all the gear today. The tank bag looks useful enough. Nice big map pocket on the front. It can be strapped down as well as the magnets. You can also unzip the bag leaving the magnet part left on the tank which also has a map pocket of the same size. It is expandable and one of the side pockets can be unzipped and has loops so you can feed your belt through it. The only thing is the waterproof cover is not see through so if you are trying to follow a map and it rains you have to decide if you want to read the map or keep your gear dry.

The helmets. Well less said the better. They look remarkably like a carberg copy but feel very cheap (well they are). Gloves are what you would expect for the price. They would do the job for a while but I would not expect them to be waterproof for long. The boots although not exactly stylish look well enough made. Again I would not expect them to stay waterproof for very long. Didn't really look at the jacket or trousers so can't comment about them. The waterproof over boots look quite good. I actually bought a pair of them so we will see.
