OGIO 110093_36 Stealth Saddle Duffel Review

Love love these saddlebags! They are well made and look great on my Dina. Separate zip pocket for rain jacket. Pockets open wider when more gear is needed. The bottom is covered with fabric to protect the bags from the heat of the exhaust pipes! I'm so glad I bought these bags!

I have previously reported that the bag does not have a heat shield as shown in the picture. Now in less than 6 months and 350 miles of use the rubber part of the bags is falling apart (always in the garage) see photo. I doubt these bags will last much longer than a season and then go in the trash.

The bags are great, they fit my bike perfectly, look great and have storage! The only problem is that I received a returned set of bags with tire wiper holes on the bottom and I had to send them back and order another set. I can't fault the bags for that, hence 5 stars! I will not be one of those idiots who rate a product low depending on the seller or shipper. It's just stupid.

In general it has remained as I installed it. Unfortunately I thought I might get caught in the rain and used a raincoat. It tore open on one side at the top due to the wind load. The other didn't break, but no matter how tight it was, it came loose. Would I buy it again? Possibly, but for 1/2 the price, so if it fails it can be thrown away, not now. Too expensive to throw away and broken to use again.

Installed on my 2016 CBR650F. SW Motech luggage racks are also installed. I've been an Ogio fan for many years and this is no exception. They look great, are easy to apply and hold up great. Nothing bad to say about these bags. It would be really nice if they added 1 extra strap at the dead center of the bottom of the bag to make it even more secure and prevent it from tipping over at high speeds without much weight.

High quality material, they keep their shape when empty. They carry a lot without losing their shape. But raincoats don't work well, the rain gets into the pockets. I pulled the raincoats as tight as I could and pulled the covers over the pockets as much as possible, but the rain still seeps into the pockets. Otherwise excellent looking bags, well suited for upside down pipes due to their shape. Convenient carrying handles, they are attached with Velcro to carry both bags in one hand.

Perfect size for my 600cc sport bike, length not too long. The zippers and velcro seem to be holding up well after 2 months, the straps close well. easily holds 1/2 gallon OJ weight, won't crush a medium sized loaf of bread. The only complaint I have is that my bike is in the sun 3-5 days a week at work. I could see the bags disappearing within 2 weeks, after a month the exposed areas turned purple. Now, two months later, I'm disappointed and wondering if the fabric will hold up through the…

I am very impressed with the quality of these bags. I've used them in all Michigan weather and they work great. The pockets stretch a bit and that allows me to carry a significant amount. In a bag I have a raincoat, a scooter cover (Honda pcx 150) and spare winter riding gloves. The other I keep for my racquetball gear or for 6 packs of beer from time to time. The raincoat is packed very well and neatly in its small zipped case. That doesn't mean these bags can't withstand a little rain. I was…

I installed saddles and panniers on a Triumph Thruxton R for a 9 day 1300 mile trip. Fully boxed; As shown in the photos, it includes a 3-day change of clothes (t-shirts, underwear, socks, toiletries), 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of flat shoes, small travel essentials, rainwear, laptop, iPad and action camera. Case. It did its job well and stayed in place once installed and secured. The following clues will cost the bags one star: 1-Water seeps through the saddles. The rain cover does not fully…
