Howdy,

My company offers a yearly $150 reimbursement for luggage and I'm thinking I'm due for a decent backpack. I commute back and forth regularly in the rain on my motorcycles so was wondering if there are any good waterproof backpacks in the sub $250 range without slumming it through Amazon with a Chinese special.

Seen some mystery ranch and yeti's (same thing) at scheels and got to wondering.

Im a neophyte when it comes to bag type gear so I don't know what names are decent or not.

I appreciate any input!

If you are looking to just protect clothes, I would go with a dry bag.

Girlfriend has a waterproof backpack, but it will leak a little sometimes due to having zippers to get into it.

Osprey Transporter Duffel?

But legitimately, any waterproof roll bag inside a pretty decent backpack is a safer way to go.

Agreed on drying bags instead of a waterproof backpack.

Fair enough, I'll start slogging through those options to see what I can track down.

Thanks guys
