So how did the msa hold up on the trip back from FNQ and the years since?

Cheers

I've had a Bushranger bag, very handy. They're not fully waterproof, and most aren't from conversations I've had a campfire.

I like the Southern Cross bags, they're adjustable and strong, but they're very expensive. Probably still good value at those prices though.


X2 on the Bushranger, very thin but ideal when it's not raining. Aussie Swags aren't known for having heaps of storage space so we bought the bag to go on top of the CT and has all travel bags.

Might look at a Southern Cross bag for next trip.

I now have a Southern Cross and its a thing of beauty. It opens to an immense size but with the helical zip one can make it small medium or large.

I bought an MSA bag before our central trip this year it was great and easy to use, but by the time we got home I noticed that the webbing straps that hold everything down had worn several holes through the outer cover near the front. I suspect this was because it wasn't full and the straps were as tight as I could get them but the cover would flap about when cruising

Has anyone had any experience with Drifta's rooftop bag?

Looks like they do some well thought out canvas stuff.

I guess being Drifta it would be well put together.
