I would have thought that the fact it has perforations in the leather for ventilation make it quite obviously a non-waterproof product.

I'm looking at Cramster Tundra, anyone have any opinions on them?



Not waterproof though, just water resistant...

The other option would be DSG Acqua

If you're serious about "all-weather" that means that you'll have to have something that you can breathe in during extreme heat of summer, have a removable rain liner and perhaps have a thermal liner too.

In short - a mesh jacket.

That would knock out the DSG's and if I'm not mistaken the Rjays Voyager too.( I don't know if its a mesh.)

That leaves the Rjays Swift and the Cramster 4.0 which are both good products in my opinion but with the Rjays having the edge I think in the quality of armors.

Just remember that completely "waterproof" jackets which have the rain lining built in will be un-wearable during summer.

@All..I have only read the discussion on xTracker... but the ONLY thing that can make your dry weather gear into all weather gear is the addition of a Raincoat . Nothing else will be effective.. and here.. I rest my case

Ideal Riding Gear(For Touring): Any 'Textile' Jacket (DSG Nero / Pheonix.) + Duckback Raincoat.

+1 Though mine is a bit different... it's the jacket + poncho + rain pants.. Don't have waterproof boots yet...

Seeking suggestion on Tail bags

Touring Gurus, appreciate to help & enlighten me on selecting a good tail bag & tail bag only.

My requirements are...
- Good rain (possibly dust) proof tail bag
- Preferably expandable
- Suits well on C250R
- Should hold clothes for 2-3 days in touring in addition to chain lubes, small tools (2 screwdrivers, rachet & few sockets, puncture kit & optional foot pump), First aid & toileteries.
- Other than this, I don't see anything significant, but pls feel free to add

Now, where I seek suggestion is, I'm not sure how many litres of bag should I choose as I'm not sure I'm overlooking/under looking my requirements. Here're the ones I sorted out...

1. Nelson Rigg CL-800 - 37 Litres
2. Nelson-Rigg CL-1040 - 29 litres expandable upto 38 Litres
3. Cortech Tribag System - 30 litres
4. Rapid Transit Platoon Tail Bag 70 litres
5. FIRSTGEAR ONYX TAIL BAG - 36 to 51 litres
6. FirstGear Laguna Expandable Tail Bag - 31 lts to 40 lts
7. FirstGear Onyx Nylon Tail Bag - 36 to 46 lts
8. FirstGear Silverstone Tail Bag - 34 to 46 lts

I was simply tempted to buy the one marked in RED color, but not sure & thought to seek advice from here on the capacity & then buy one. Pls help.
