So, do you take additional steps to keep your sleeping bag and pad dry, since they are on top of the rack and outside your panniers -- e.g. liners or waterproof stuff sacks?
I mentioned in a previous post that I carry a plastic garbage bag that I put around my bag when it rains. That and a waterproof...or at least water resistant...stuff sack is all I've ever needed. If you look at the second picture on my last post, you'll see that I only have 2 bags. Tent and sleeping bag. The sleeping pad is in the sleeping bag since I went to Big Agnes pads. It stuffs down real tiny.
