Question Best tank bag for '13 KLX250?

I am interested in a tank bag for my bike and wanted to hit you guys up for your past experience. If nothing else, even 'stay clear of this bag' tips would help.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I have a "Joe Rocket Manta" small good little bag.. Heck it's hard to find a small bag with these little tanks.. It holds what I want it to..I didn't want a big bag that didn't fit/ look good.. I have a Moose racing for the rear rack

+1 on the Wolfmann. Tough as ****.
Wolfmann tank panniers are great too, if filled they work if your standing, otherwise they push your knees out, so I rarely fill them.

Thanks guys!

I am looking at the Wolfman bags, but my go to online shop is 'out of stock' on almost everything for Wolfman - www.canadasmotorcycle.ca.

Any Canadians with another suggested store with decent shipping rates?

I think that I am going to shoot for the Wolfman Enduro bag.

Silly question for IDRIDR (my KLX is in storage and relatively new to me) - Is the tank metal? Will I just use the magnets, or will I have to strap it on? I know.... feel free to groan.

^ exactly. Straps.
I use the plastic acerbis 3.7 gallon tank and can mount the bag rearward for easy access to the fill cap, or more forward (which I like better) and unclip one strap for tank fill.
