Tenere tank bag recommendation?
 
I was looking for some advice on tank bags for the xt660z. Need to find one ideally before 3rd May when I leave for the polish Ukraine border. (From UK)
The wolfman enduro seems reasonably priced but I suspect is too small. Not massively keen on the famsa but doesn't seem much choice.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the Wolfman Enduro is small, but its a cracking little bag if you pack carefully - ask yourself, do you really need more than 6 litres of gear easily to hand?

Biggest benefit I've found of a small bag like this (over others I've tried) is that you get full access to the tank filler without any fannying about unzipping, unclipping or unbuckling anything.

Read this thread.

Yeah you could be right actually. I just want my wallet, keys, travel docs in there.

There you go then! ;)

Much the same as me. There's enough room to add a pasty, drink, smoking requisites, map, camera, phone, first aid kit, some cable ties and a multitool.

I've got this one on my Tenere http://www.windingroads.co.uk/shop/p...ycle-tank-bags it's quite a bit bigger than the Wolfman.

I had the Famsa bag and after a year the zip delaminated and I wasn't too upset at losing it. Wasn't waterproof and the shower-cap you needed to use to cover it flapped around uselessly if you tried to use it. Additionally I decided it was too big as Pelaides has mentioned...Used to get in the way when up on the pegs and leaning over etc on rough terrain.
So dropped it for the Giant Loop Fandango Pro...ITS AWESOME, so secure, power window holds my phone while charging, hold deceptively heaps but is never in the way and easy to get to fuel!
I now only carry wallet, sunscreen, insect repellent, wallet and keys but still have room for more in there.
I know they aren't cheap but neither was my Famsa one and so far this has looks to well outlast the other!
There is also one smaller!

Dancanova, Please post some stories on your trip to Poland-Ukraine (and pictures) as I am planning a trip that direction for next year.

Thanks for the advice chaps.

Read this thread.

You don't happen to have a photo of yours fitted on the bike do Pleiades?

I used an Oxford tank bag last year but the stitching failed after 5 weeks so took it back for a refund.
