Review on Nelson-Rigg SE-3040 40L Gear Hurricane Waterproof Backpack/Tail Pack by Mark Albright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice big 40 liter bag with accessories

My first impression: I was concerned if this bag would fit a full size helmet. It fits, it can even fit 2. :) Given that I'm hanging a thick winter hunting jacket on the side of my helmet, it just falls off leaving room. What I did with it: I put on a large thick winter hunting jacket, mossy oak, my helmet and a pair of Jordan sized riding boots. The bag is closed. It's enough to get most jobs done. I can do a lot with this bag. Wanted to invest in saddlebags but I'll probably never need them unless they lock. What I would do: On a light rainy day I would love to take my computer to school with it. Heavy rain, probably not, I'll still be in the car. The perfect bag for me as I like to carry my stuff indoors where it is safe from theft or vandalism. What to expect: The bag folds at the top and zips down. The straps attach and stay on the bike (they are removable). The straps alone do many useful jobs without the presence of a pocket. There's a waterproof pocket for phones and other gadgets condensed on a humid California morning after a rainstorm the night before. It is durable and has an air vent to reduce the volume when the bag is sealed. I have found that the more times you fold the top of the bag, the more waterproof the bag becomes. For me it's 3 times more. It has a durable feel and has plenty of compartments, pockets and sleeves, giving you plenty of room to get creative with how you transport your items. what can he do I found this when the main pocket couldn't fit everything. There was always a pocket or some sort of compartment that just "worked". As a motorcyclist, it's huge for me when I'm carrying an unexpected extra load that just lights up during my journey to God knows where. There is always a place on this bag that makes it possible. If I wore 5 helmets and an extra jacket (for "reasons"). I'd be sure it's up to my creativity now to "make it happen". May I recommend this product? Whether you camp regularly, are a student who commutes to school, or just like to pack a few extra things because "you can". These bags are for you.
