Alternative cheap Soft Luggage

[Als Dog]

Just thought I would bring to everyone attention a very cheap alternative to soft luggage. As an ex British Soldier I hit upon the Idea of using Army Issue Rocket pouches as panniers. They are very adaptable having the option of being zipped together. Also utility straps can be attached to the bags with the fitted clip system. They each hold about 13 litres, one will hold my 2 man tent complete. They can be bought of ebay for as little as £20 a pair. But ensure that they come with the correct straps and yoke. Utility straps can be bought separately for around £5 per pair. Waterproof bags are required. I hope this helps you guys and girls out there who are on a budget.
