To prevent the black dust was the main reason
for me to buy these bags. Over time I found some more positive sides
of the bags. E.g. it is very easy to pull the bags out of the
panniers, and then one has everything that's needed in the tent or
hotel without needing to rummage around in the aluminum panniers. It
is also easier to pull the bags out of the pannier and the to
completely open them, rather than to fish for stuff in the pannier.
By now I had these bags with me on many trips
and thousands of kilometers, and they still show only little wear.
Conclusion: Not cheap (it's Touratech
after all), but very handy, and therefore absolutely recommendable.

Self sewn 20l
priceless
Since I like the above mentioned bags I wanted
one for my
top case too, but I couldn't find one that would fit. So, I had
to make one myself. Buying some black jeans cloth, a long zipper,
and some wide black band (for the handles) at a craft store. Then
cutting the cloth to size, and on to the sewing machine. After a little
more then two hours the inner bag for the top box was done (I had
never done anything like this before).
Cloclusion:
About Euro 10,- for the material plus two hours time. It doesn't
look 100% professionally made, but the bag works just fine, and that
is what really matters. I am also a little proud of my self sewn
bag.
