Re: [RBW] How waterproof are the Sackvilles?

2012-12-27 Thread Brian Hanson
After a 3 or 4 seasons in Seattle commuting and riding with various canvas
bags (Sackvilles and Acorns), I would say they are not appreciably less
waterproof than the Ortlieb I used to use other than the zippers.  If you
can fold the bag over (shopsack) so the zipper isn't exposed, you should be
good.  I also would say the fabric used in the Sackvilles is better than
the other canvas I've used.  I still like my Acorn Tall Rando, though :)

[RBW] How waterproof are the Sackvilles?

2012-12-26 Thread Kelly
I've had great luck with the large sackville.  Several tours and all day rains 
with nothing getting wet And or even in the bag.  I still line it with a 
trash bag, and recommend that, just haven't needed the extra protection under 
some severe weather conditions.
