best luggage for long trips?

[ExoSuitGamer88]

heading out on a 10-day road trip soon and need a solid luggage setup. thinking of grabbing some waterproof duffel bags for the backseat and rack but man those bmw panniers are pricey. anyone tried other brands that work just as well? also curious if you prefer hard or soft luggage for longer trips. let me know what works best for you!

pros and cons for both so its up to you. the soft ones are lighter but the hard ones are durable. as for the brand you have tons of aftermarket options to choose from you might not even look at bmw ones

Soft bags have really come a long way and are great for keeping things light. Waterproof duffels are a smart and budget-friendly choice for a trip like yours. Plenty of solid aftermarket brands work just as well as BMW panniers without costing an arm and a leg. Stick with what fits your style and needs, and you'll be set for the road ahead!

I got a budget friendly solution that might suit. For my last trip, I bought a box of heavy duty trash bags and put my bags in one of those. you don't have to buy another bag and can use your non waterproof bags.

Smart hack! Heavy-duty trash bags are an affordable and simple solution for keeping your belongings dry without needing extra equipment.
