Default waterproof saddlebag liners

hi
Ive just fitted a set of Fox Creek FatBoy Leather saddle bags to my bike using Easy Brackets.

Overall Im delighted with the outcome. The bags fit my Fatboy great. Perhaps a little smaller thatn the denier sportsbike throwovers I was using before, but Ill be able to get what I need on the bike, for the many camping trips I do in the UK to the runs and rallies.

My question is, what do you use for waterproof saddle bag liners?

Ive tended to use black refuse bin liners up until know, but they always catch in the zips...can any make any recommendations?

Thanks

Black Hefty trash bags. Can't beat them for the price and utility.

Default Look in a camping gear store.

I found some really nice waterproof bags in the camping section of my local department store. They are made by this company:

http://www.outdoorproducts.com/index.html

They are nice and light weight but strong. They have drawstring closures and come in a number of sizes and colors which I like because it helps me to organize things. For the money I think they are well worth it. I keep one in each of my saddlebags. The larger one that I use comes in black and it holds more than enough stuff to fill my saddle bag.
