Lomo 30L Waterproof Hi Viz Cycling Dry Bag Rucksack

Bought this because - well - decent reviews, great price and most importantly - waterproof. It’s even better than I anticipated. And for a big bag the weight distribution is excellent. My daily commute includes 15” laptop in sleeve, 12.9” iPad in sleeve, two cable organiser bags full of cables and plugs, heavy duty bike lock, bike pump, occasionally additional shoes and clothes. Super roomy - takes a whole universe of kit. And yet it feels light and manageable on my back - sternum and waist straps help with that and they fit comfortably even though I’m a fifty-something (non-Lycra wearing) big unit dressed in several layers. And through a number of grim rainstorms so far, everything (inside the bag) has stayed bone dry. If only I could travel inside the bag! Can’t imagine for the life of me why you’d need to spend more on a cycling backpack when this is way out in front of more ‘prestigious’ brands. Great job Lomo, you genuinely rock!

I got this to replace my 20L commuting roll top dry bag. I went up to a 30L to account for the fact I now have to carry my laptop etc on commutes. When I first received the bag I was underwhelmed and even got the tape measure out as it looked about the same size as the 20L. The measurements displayed on this product by the seller are correct btw just deceiving to the eye. I was sceptical that I would have the extra space I needed but to be honest I got it all in with no issue. Now that I've used the bag for a few weeks commuting I feel I can give a rating. It's a sturdy looking piece of kit and looks like it'll last hence the 5 stars. The straps are super comfy and adjust to fit snug, so apart from the weight you don't know you have it on. The roll top, even when the bag is stuffed, doesn't restrict your vision when checking the traffic situation behind you. The little strap holders are a nice touch so theres no flapping around and the velcro mesh bag inside saves you scratting around the bottom of the bag for locker keys, wallet etc. All in all I'm very happy with it, my only feedback I would give is there is nothing on the bag to allow for the clipping of extra lighting for the winter rides. I like to be seen from a distance and will probably put my rain cover on it additionally to allow for an extra light to be in use.

Good commuting bag, well made, large enough and fully waterproof the only drawback is the lack of a sleeved compartment for a laptop etc but I bought a separate sleeve to keep devices away from the rest of my kit.

The massive box it came in aside first impression was that it was too big for commuting on a motorcycle. 2 days in I figured out the amazing design of it and cant rate it highly enough, strong construction , waterproof (verified scotland today), straps are great , cushioning also . Must mention the hi viz, workmates commented it's very visible in the dark and in daylight

It appears to be very good quality. It's nice to use a ruck sack designed for cycling and Motor cycling. The ruck sack is comfortable to wear and has plenty of room

I've bought two of these over the past few months; the first for myself, and the second for my partner. The quality of the Lomo is the first pleasant surprise. As other reviewers have no doubt commented, these bags can take a substantial amount of punishment. I've yet to see any visible signs of wear other than slight degradation of the luminescent strips. My partner takes better care of hers and it basically looks pristine, although it's been in continuous use for months. I cycle to work on a daily basis regardless of the weather conditions and my Lomo has been an absolute godsend. If this sounds suspiciously like a paid review, I can assure you that I'd be unwilling to sell out for a measly £35. It really is a terrific bag. Quality aside, the size suits my particular needs perfectly. It accommodates my gym gear, laptop and assorted junk with ample room to spare and is great for shopping trips. It's not, admittedly, particularly easy on the eye, but I do feel more confident that other road users are able to see me in low-light conditions. All things considered, it's easily the best cyclist's bag available for under £100. Get it.

Good for rainy day cycling, reflective for night riding.

Used as a commuter bag and it works really well. Bright fabric with good reflective highlights on the rear, feels pretty bombproof and has been totally waterproof so far. Shoulder straps and waist belt are simple but work well enough but if you're lugging large laptops or uni books etc then they might be a touch flimsy. If I had to improve it I'd move the reflective tape on the shoulder straps down quite a bit as they currently sit on top of the shoulders so can only be seen from above. For some commuters it might well be a bit big and if they did a 20l version I'd snap one up.
