Re: [ST] Tri vs Held tankbags.

Don't have either John but .....
>From what I can see, the Held is strap-on only, which means you have to
unstrap it each time you want to remove the bag.
Whereas the Tri bag uses a base that gets strapped on to the tank an remains
there, while the main bag velcros onto it. Much less hassle if you're using
the bag where security is an issue.
i.e. into the store for 5 minutes, do you unstrap the whole thing and take
it with you or just unvelcro and go?

My other concern would be the zippers. Are they the little spiral plastic
ones that are gonna give out and jam within a year or something larger.

just my 2¢
