Nelson-Rigg SE-3040 40L Gear Hurricane Waterproof Backpack/Tail Pack Review

This thing is way better than I expected. It's complex and very well thought out. MUCH ahead of similarly priced dry bags. I like the thought and attention to detail that went into this bag. Started with a 40L but it was HUGE so I bought the 20L version which is identical in specs but is designed for day/adventure use. This will be my travel bag, motorcycle touring tail bag and all-round adventure bag. That's great!

got this after my Alpinestars backpack self destroyed cheap crappy useless zippers looking for backpacks with no zippers I can climb in you can frigging fuck all those Adjust straps and add small pockets. The only issue I have found is how it closes, it works but it will keep flexing the rubber material and it will break leaving small holes in the folded sections rendering the air valve just useless X) and possibly its water resistance affect but overall it's a great backpack, hope it lasts a…

So far this is a really good package. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but imagine a big, big rubber sack that opens at the top. After putting things in, pinch the top two flaps together, fold the flaps, and roll the flaps down three times. Then you put on a strap so it doesn't come loose. This makes the seal truly airtight. The straps are very adjustable and it has two straps that go through the front (one across the chest and one through the waist) to keep it in place and make it…

I bought this bag for a motorcycle race in Peru. He has held up very well given the brutal conditions I put him through. Built in everything I needed and then some. Also, the amount of attachment points on the outside was ideal for using such a small rack and hanging things. After the race I traveled the Inca Trail for 4 days with a bag. While still working well, it's definitely a motorcycle tail bag with backpack straps to move between. It really isn't meant for multi-day hiking/camping, but…

I drive an FZ07 and have FAST panniers. I used to travel with a regular backpack, but the risk of my laptop or whatever falling victim to a storm was too great to risk any longer. Enter the 20 liter version of this bag. It's big enough to fit in a laptop bag (15 inch laptop). Why do? Well, if you're commuting to work or anywhere else, you can just toss your work bag in this waterproof and commute bag, but no one at work needs to know you rode a bike that day. Day trip? It's small enough that it

I bought this bag to mount on the back of my motorcycle. Haven't used it yet but have used dry bags in the past. This is well made and unlike my previous bag which was specifically designed for riding, this one can also be used as a backpack. Not only that, it has all sorts of attachment points for customization to my specific bike. My biggest fear when ordering this was; Will it smell like rubber when I take it out of the box? I was very happy that it has no smell. I also sail a lot and this…

I was planning a cross-country bike ride and needed a bag that I could attach to my bike and take with me when needed. More importantly, I was looking for a bag that would keep my gear dry. Happy to report this bag was top notch. Pros: It's waterproof and the ability to seal gear with a one-way vent was a very solid plus. The molle strap on the map flap is very handy for attaching random loose items. The adjustable straps are perfect. Cons: Because the bag is made of waterproof material…

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…

My review is divided into 4 categories; 1) seller - delivery of the goods 2) design of the goods 3) quality of workmanship. 4) Production support. "Seller" is rated 5 stars. The package was sent quickly and received within two days and this is not the best product. I thank the seller for the fast delivery. "Bag Design" gets 4 stars. The bag is well designed and has some nice features apart from being waterproof. I don't know of any other tail bag that is in the same price range as the rig bag…
