Re: [RBW] Comparing Fabio's Chest and Large Saddlesack in use [was:Volume of LARGE Saddlsack?]
I've been looking at the BagsxBird offerings and the Goldbacks look so well thought out and slick. I still like my old Riv/Carradice Barley bag but am always frustrated by the buckles which require two hands to cinch and have poorly covered side pockets. Jay's website shows both the largest (Mega) and smallest (Niño) mounted on his A.Homer Hilsen. The Mega is listed at 26L plus 5-10L dry bag capacity if the long flap is opened. I think all models feature the long flap. And lots of cinch points. Good graphic representation of the bags and their dimensions on his site. https://www.bagsxbird.com/goldback David Lipsky (No affiliation, but I hope to order one!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Comparing Fabio's Chest and Large Saddlesack in use [was:Volume of LARGE Saddlsack?]
I’m having a hard time believing a Fabio’s chest is 44 liters. I had one and there were a number of things that I didn’t like about it. Mainly, the more you pack in it, the weirder and more unweildy the shape gets. On my saddle, it would almost turn slightly upside down when fully loaded. Also, roll tops are kind of a hassle. I’m not saying that’s everyone’s experience, but it was mine. Anyway, I’d check out bagsxbird by Maybe a former rivendel employee? I can’t remember. He’s worked out a lot of kinks in the carradice style bag and I’m loving mine. He has a mega version and it has a long flap too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks for the comparo, Ana. I did own a nice Large Saddlesack and found the volume a bit disappointing, compared to my Ortlieb Rollers and even the Medium I'd owned before. If I am smart, I'll stick with the Ortliebs On Sun, Dec 30, 2018 at 11:42 AM Ana Candela wrote: > Patrick, > > Besides what Patrick suggested of strapping stuff on top, the Sackville > bags allow for expandability with their inner flap and extra long straps, > so only the sides would be exposed with really large loads.

Patrick, Besides what Patrick suggested of strapping stuff on top, the Sackville bags allow for expandability with their inner flap and extra long straps, so only the sides would be exposed with really large loads. I’m sure you could carry a few bags of cheese puffs! ;-) I’ve never used the Fabios chest bag, but it looks like it’s expandable by rolling up the top, so you would have the top of your load exposed. If you want to fit the volume you mention and have it covered and tucked in nicely, you would have to look for a another bag instead. Looking at both websites, not only is the Sackville more stylish and better quality but cheaper, too! -Ana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Comparing Fabio's Chest and Large Saddlesack in use [was:Volume of LARGE Saddlsack?]
I've done that too, with all sorts of bags, but it's too inconvenient (for me, personally) -- I want a carrier that I can shove things in, cover up, and click or strap closed. And I'll bet that the family sized 2 gallon bag of Cheez Doodles won't take kindly to being cinched down on top of the bag. (OK, I don't eat Cheez Doodles or Cheese Puffs or what have you, but I do like the occasional bag of tortilla chips or potato chips.) Really, the pair of Ortlieb Roller Packers at 40 litres is entirely big enough, but I am a not-apparently-recovering bag fetishist and I am telling my story.
