Well thought of in many circles - Aldi's Dry Bags are on sale again next Thursday.

Cheers.
I have a couple of them. Always could do with a few more when SWMBO comes camping.

I'll be camped outside my local ALDI ready, hopefully to get a couple.
I have a couple of the stand up ones but the sports type look better, and bigger.

I have to query the date though.. the thread title says 29th but the website says 16th (which is this coming Thursday).

Got mine, was there at 8:30 and picked up two blue ones.
Not that many of the sports bag versions at my store, few more of the duffel bag one though.

I am such a dry bag hoarder...

The sport bags looked so good that I've decided to use one on my pending Euro trip (in just over 2 weeks) but my previous upright bags are yellow and scruffy (from a green laning ADV type trip in Croatia)..., so I got the mrs to call in on her way home from work and she picked up a 44L upright bag for me in blue to match the sport bag. :lala:

I have 5 dry bags now (2 older and used)... does anyone need that many ALDI dry bags.. :happydance:

One thing I can say though is that they have really come on in the last few years.
My previous ones (CRANE brand also) have no handles, just a closing strap. They were about £7 each I think. The newer ones have a bonded in handle on the side and a clip on shoulder strap.
Both bag types are a bargain at £9.99.
The nearest equivalents of the sport bag on fleabay are £40-£50!

I'm tempted to go back and buy more... but I won't... I have enough.. step away from the till! :thumb:

I have used the duffle type since they first sold them still good as new. Just brought four or the other. That should see me to the grave

Picked up two duffle bags on Thursday. One blue to match her bike, and a yellow one to stick out like a sore thumb from mine. Apparently they don't do grey. But they was a very fetching urban camo in the standard type bags.

They are better quality than previous years. The last few 'crane' bags we bought felt quite flimsy but have lasted a few years. Let's hope these last as long.
