whats the price of the Touratech bag?

I managed to pick up a waterproof roll back last year for £40 and I wished I bought one years ago. Use it all the time now and so much I sold my top box

Im pretty sure I used a link posted on here for some £15 rolltop waterproof ortelib-like bags (overboard I think they are called). Cheep and does what it sent on the can.

I have an Ortlieb 59 litre dry bag that I got off fleaBay for £36... then I saw that Lidl were doing some and also Tesco have 2 for £8! :ohmy:
