Yea kind of like when I was a fleet manager. If the parts said it was for a fire engine it was triple the price compared to the price for a regular truck.

There are actually a lot of differences - for one, the expensive bag is 12 liters while the cheaper bag is 40 liters...

I use the Wolfman stuff, not cheap, but excellent quality and designed for motorcycles, Made in the US. They do have dry bags, http://www.wolfmanluggage.com/

If you think owning a motorcycle is bad, try owning a sailboat!

Or a RV or an airplane! A micro switch from the local hardware store- $9.?? The exact same switch with same numbers plus a FAA ink stamp- $3000+ for a airplane.

With aircraft, the justification used is inspection rates. Whereas the hardware store switch maybe pull 1 in 500 off the line to be inspected, for aircraft use the inspection rates can be as high as 100%, then all have to be recorded, and signed for.

Takes time, and manpower.

Does it justify the full mark-ups? I don't think so, but it does up the cost of the unit.

When an airplane crashes, they know the exact production date of all parts, so they can maybe trace other air planes using those parts.
Doesn't help the first plane that crashed.

I was looking at seat cushions online 2 years ago and from the same company the same cushion was $40 more for the Motorcycle cushion over the Kayak cushion with the same UPC code....Hmmmm!

Our local mountain equipment co-op has this great duffel bag with a flat bottom and lots of tie down points to use on the seat or rack which is quite normal but it is also a dry bag.

Seems to me that an office supply place could whip up that ink stamp for a whole lot less than $2991.................
