looking for the best compression bags to fit into saddle bags.

 

You mean those bags that you squeeze the air out? Wal-mart has them and they work just as well as any others.

 

I don't know about compression bags, but I bought a SeatoSummit 20 liter dry bag at Cabela's. I put all my clothes in it. Then you roll the top over to seal it. I sit on it and squeeze all the air out. Fits perfectly in the saddlebag then. I have speaker lids and have been lazy about sealing them water tight, because I plan to upgrade. All my stuff stays dry though.

You can find them on Amazon and other online retailers. I wanted to see one before I bought it.

 

Welcome to the Forums

some of the bags are easily punctured, or the seams will let go over time.

so I gave up on them.



best to plan for how many days between laundry...

I change socks and underwear every day...but I can live in my jeans a week and maybe get a couple of days from a tshirt...and somehow i always end up with a new tshirt or 2 on a trip

sometimes travel with worn out stuff with intention of t shirt becomes cleaning rag become trash

BUT always carry spare shoes! I put socks or shaver inside

I use Gill gear. I have a 25L bag fits both mine and the ole ladies rain suit and fits well in one of the saddle bags. Gillnorthamerica.com Been using this stuff for a long time it holds up well.

 

I go the cheap route. you can buy large Ziploc bags that fit the bill perfectly. then when your trip is done, you can either store them or throw them away. 2 gallon freezer bags fit t shirts and underwear perfectly, and then they have the 'space bags' for closet storage if you need something bigger.

 

Ziplock baggies, gallon size. Days worth of socks, undies and shirt in each. Squeeze flat and you can slip a weeks worth in a saddlebag.

 

+1 on the Wal-mart cheapo's or any other of the flimsy grocery bags you get!
