Waterproof luggage has loads going for it

POSTED: 01/02/2024

Carrying clothes and clobber for a short break can be a problem if your trusty sled does not have panniers or a topbox.

That’s when soft luggage that can be easily fitted, or carried on your back, comes into its own.

But there‘s also the issue of the temperamental British weather so you need waterproof luggage to keep everything dry.

Oxford’s Aqua Bags are one of the easiest ways to carry your gear and keep it safe and dry.

They are made from tough PVC tarpaulin welded to form waterproof seams.

There are lots of options, in black and hi-vis finishes - we stock some of the most popular items but can order other products too.
