Thanks to the OP for flagging this deal up

Bought 2 blue ones which arrived earlier in the week, Mrs Tonto said they are brill, and could not see anything wrong with them.

I then told her it was her Valentines present, thinking good job that I wont be home for 3 months yet!! her answer was not repeatable.

Luckily her other present arrived yesterday, so she has calmed down a bit now, and says they are good though...........

Dry bag next meethinks.........

Thanks for the heads up! Bought two orange ones as by the time I hade decided to buy two that was all that was left. Still they are really good. My sons bought me a Gopro for Xmas. So here is the question - what's the best way to fix your Gopro to your Geckco? Are those sticky pads supplied with the Gopro really good enough?

yes, they stick like sticky stuff we've used the suction base onto the windscreen, works really well, stayed on all the way round on the Anglesey cruise last year

22 so far then. Can't decide over the waterproof or padded bags. Head says waterproof, they can be clipped onto the seat back or bottle rack.

If you are going for waterproof I would go for the Aldi dry bag like you mentioned before.

I am considering motorcycle bluetooth kits, cheapies off ebay. My wife has one in her bike helmet seems to work fine, not sure how waterproof they are though.
