T-Bag Luggage Choice
I need some opinions from anyone who has used these because it is hard to decide on line without seeing and touching. I need to order a new piece of luggage for my tour-oak rack. Trying to decide between these two from T-Bag;
T-Bag Bootcase for King Tour-pak # TB1300TPS
or
T-Bag Dekker Supreme # TB 1000 DTS
Has anyone used either of these and if so could your tell me your opinion of them?
Thanks.

I need a new/nicer bag for me and my wife. Usually 3 day trips and some longer. The Dekker two is bigger than the supreme but is it too big for 2-3 day trips? We both pack on the heavy side and usually come home with a couple items that never got used. I might be interested in one of yours...

I have the Dekker Supreme, and it's a nice bag for just me for a night or 2, but I'd bet it won't be big enough for both of you, for 3 days. I can't believe the other 1 could be too big.

The Supreme works for me and the wife on 4-5 day trips.The Dekker II we used on our 2 week trips but the supreme does have 1" thick padded walls that can be removed for more room, but then its not rigid I guess I'd say, the bottom would need to be left in but the side walls can be removed. I'm not sure which one I'd want to part with I'd have to think about it, I'm thinking real hard on a trailer for our long trips.

I have the t-bag bootcase currently. My wife and I have travelled for 1 week and did not need to do laundry. we have travelled for 2 weeks and did laundry once.
T-Bag Bootcase - wife's clothes, toiletries and curling iron and hair straightener (don't they cancel each other out?)
Tourpak - my clothes, toiletries, wife's extra boots (she likes variety), my laptop all fit in the soft HD tourpak bag. in the nooks and crannies around the bag, I carry an air compressor, tire plug kit, few odds and ends. I wear my riding boots every day and pack a pair of flip-flops for hotel evenings.
Right saddle bag - my riding gear (rain pants, jacket liners, helmet face shield, extra gloves, bike cover, snacks for day) and tools (innovative storage solutions pouches)
Left Saddle bag - her riding gear (rain suit, jacket liners, gloves, bandanas, rain boots, snacks for day) and tools (innovative storage solutions pouches).
This summer we will be on the road for 3 weeks - thinking about getting the T-bag dekker II (new). or just end up doing laundry twice.
bottom line, if you have experience touring, you can pack for 1 week - 2-up - without an issue - most people bring way too much crap with them. we were there years ago but with age comes wisdom.
