When you need to haul a ton of gear, this bag might just save the day. You can stuff a bunch of camping stuff or gear in this bag. It is basically a huge 50L waterproof duffle designed to strap onto the back of the seat or rear rack.
Purchase & Shipping
I purchased the bag from Temu for £32 (US$43). At the time, Temu was offering better deals than AliExpress, so it pays to shop around. I always find it best to go by how many units sold and then the reviews/ratings. After that, you are in the lap of the Chinese God’s 🙂
Shop around, lots of sellers on AliExpress and Temu and they change often.
The link below is an AliExpress seller that looks pretty decent.

Features & Specifications
The bag is well made, heavy duty and the seam welds and stitching looks good.
Carrying handles feel like decent quality and are double stitched onto an additional seam welded patch for better durability.
You get a padded shoulder carrying strap and a couple of adjustable mounting straps. To be honest, you might need more than the two mounting straps, I would also personally use either some additional Rok Straps or a couple of cinch straps to make sure it is secured via the D-Rings or Mole loops on the bag.
Materials: Heavy-duty 500D PVC tarpaulin (waterproof treated) with heat-welded seams.
Capacity & Dimensions: 50 liters approximately, 70 × 30 × 38 cm (L×W×H) when fully un-rolled.
It’s huge, about the size of an airline carry-on, expanded.
Weight: 1.5kg
Waterproof Rating: 100% Waterproof. Roll top closure.
Soak Test
I soaked the bag with a garden hose at a reasonable pressure for about 20 seconds.
If the bag was prone to leaking, then this type of “monsoon” test in my experience would have found its weak spots.
The bag was 100% dry inside, pretty much as expected with this style of PVC roll-top bag.
You can see more details of the soak test in the video at the end of the page.
Verdict
If you need to lug around a bunch of stuff (camping) and you are after a cheap, waterproof bag, add the Soyavision bag to your list. I think it’s great value and does exactly what is says on the packet 🙂
