CorTech Sport Tail Bag

I picked up a CorTech Sport tailbag for the brick. Although I have a big Givi 55 monokey bag, frankly it often feels like I'm riding a station wagon when the bag is loaded on it. So I thought a textile tail bag would do the trick. I needed something that would be able to carry my laptop since I often commute on my bike. I did a little research and found that the Cortech had expandable sides that can be zipped out for a laptop.
The bag is really well made, easily accommodates a laptop , gloves, rain pants and even a small lunch bag or a few books. It attaches with bungee shock cords that have hooks on the ends. So I can easily use it on my K bike or my RT. The bag also comes with a simple shoulder strap that I keep in the side pocket and it also had a rain cover.  When I get to work I just take off the bag, slap on the shoulder strap and I carry everything with me. If I'm making a quick trip to the store I also unclip it and take the bag along. Very handy.

I think I paid around $70. It's not cheap but pretty good quality for the money. I'd recommend it.
