I still may jump as their mounting system seems pretty cool. But ouch, that's a lot of cash. But I guess if they never wear out or break it's money well spent.
not to be mean ... but good stuff costs money
that do
not mean:
1. all expensive stuff is good
2. all good stuff is expenisve
but Ortliebs are considered a pay a lot and set and forget type of item. one can do cat litter buckets but not in any serious way. for example not in a full-bike rack where the bag comes off and goes on the train or into the store or into the gym. i can't even imagine riding my bike to the airport and getting on a plane with a kitty litter container as a carry-on?
in a low-density situation maybe a cat litter container would work, but it wouldn't in the morning where I store my bike and consider that pretty low-density.
they would get snapped off in about two seconds in the morning inside here:
