    More info.
    Touatech Zega Pro's on the side,
    Pelican type case (cheap copy) on the top,
    Wolfman dry duffel bag on the seat in front of the top case, or on the rack if not carrying the top case.
    Giant Loop Great Basin if I am only travelling light, possibly in conjunction with the duffel bag.

    I've been extremely happy with Happy Trails. I'm also seriously considering Wolfman in the future.

    I'm trying to ensure that it will work with as many popular pannier and rack systems as I can. In order to do that, I need to figure out what the most popular systems are first which is the point of this thread/poll.

    If 50% of people have brand X then I'd be pretty stupid to not design things with work with X. At the same time I don't want to eat up resources trying to work a system that only 5% use.

    Jesse's gather dust on the shelf while a Giant Loop Great Basin holds my gear on off-pavement adventures. Less convenient that hard cases, but so much lighter it's not even a contest. :wink:

    I have an old set of Zegas mounted to a Metal Mule balanced rack.
    Not sure which part of that equation matters for your project....

    Anyone in Southern Alberta with an F series w/Jesse's that I can have a look at?

    Can someone with Jesse's post up some pics of the racks on the right side?

    Thx
