    Hi,

    Has anyone got any suggestions of available rainproof backpacks for


    cycling.

    Particularly any available in the Brisbane region.

    Thanks,
    Laurence Dodd.

    Although not a direct answer to your question, I use a Caribee hydration
    backpack for comuting with my laptop and other gear.

    I always ride with my cycling parka stuffed into the side waterbottle
    pocket, and wear that over the top of the bag when it rains.

    HTH.

    Cheers,

    Tim

    But I presume you can't zip up the jacket to cover you and the bag, am I


    right?

    I have a velcro jacket, and I can do up the top half of the jacket, but not
    the bottom half. I suits well enough for me.

    all my bike clothes are hung over my computer & monitor drying out
    for the (wet? )trip home. Anybody got any better idea's for drying
    clothes??

    I bought a small (4 bar) column heater, which I keep in my office. It doesn't do much to heat the office, but is just the ticket for getting the wet cycling gear dry. Cost about $80, from Myer.

    As for backpacks, I just keep a set of clothes in a garbage bag in my backpack if it's raining, so they stay dry on the trip to work when it's raining.

    Regards,

    Suzy

    A cheaper alternative is to pack your stuff in plastic bags - works perfectly in anything up to dunking the backpack and costs almost nothing. No worn seams to worry about, pack everything in a 'modular 'way

    Why do you need this, we live in Brisbane, not Melbourne. Although when
    I got off the plane from Cairns last week, I thought it was Melbourne.
    Miserable wet. Not good for training.
