I have a 90L HellyHansen Hodall in Orange. Great bag that I bought to take up kili due to the size and colour.

I use an umbro football kit bag at around £8. For waterproofing either drybag or rubble sack inside it


I have one of these which came as a pack:- sports bag, boot bag (I use this for personal effects while in the gym), a small rucksack and a bag that has a string closure. All very effective at £25 about 4 years ago. I use a dry bag in the kit bag when required.

I just fancied one of those Mountain Equipment or TNF ones, that's all.  Was interested to hear what other folk had used.

Thanks for your comments.

Just noticed this on UK Climbing

I'd pay £50 just for that lovely blue colour.

For bulk luggage I use one of those army surplus kit bags. Its US army, approx 80L and made of heavy nylon in an attractive olive green colour. Its best feature is that it has a pair of shoulder straps. I really like it when Im travelling abroad, its airline friendly, easy to secure with a lock and relatively easy to carry.

If you want a more conventional bag and dont want to spend a lot, buy a British army deployment bag, theres lots of them on ebay and the surplus shops, genrerally under £20. The build quality of these things is excellent and they have features like external pockets and foldaway shoulder straps.

Fred, thanks for the info.  Had a look at the various sites.  Will keep in mind for the future.
