Review on Waterproof Motorcycle Motorcycling Kayaking Adventure Sports & Fitness by Charles Quinones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Waterproof, surprisingly good, well thought out, roomy enough.

In short: there is definitely no wolf. names, but almost everything is just as good. The fabric is dense, heavily rubberized, the straps are dense, waterproof. I have no complaints. Longer Version: This is a $60 bag (at the time of my purchase) playing in the Yellow Wolves League. Brand. I ordered it with little hesitation due to the suspiciously low price and I'm glad I did. This is a large duffel bag, I put a foam mat, a sleeping pad, a sleeping bag and a camping pillow in the tent, leaving enough space to add a few small items if needed. The top closes with a fairly stiff and aggressive velcro that you should fold with any dry bag. That works great. When folded there is a twist valve to let air out and it works great proving that the bag is not only waterproof but also airtight. There are straps on the sides to keep the top opening folded and another one on top - it all holds up really well. The pen loops close with velcro and offer a good grip, they are not too long, just perfect. Where the handle loops connect to the bag, there are additional plastic loops that allow you to attach the bag to a bike or luggage rack using the two included partially elasticated straps. As you can see in the picture everything fits damn well although I didn't use the hinges in the first picture. There is an inside pocket with a separate outside zip, but I didn't use it. The outside mesh pocket is good but I didn't have to use it. I had no problem putting it on, putting it on, packing it, unpacking it, anything at all. It smells faintly of chemical rubber - guess it's not leather or organic so expect that. He didn't stab my sleeping bag or anything so I don't mind. Each corner has reflective arrows (?) or whatever it should have been - a nice touch of safety. The bag survived the 5,000 mile ride like a champ. It rained most of the first and last day. The other day I was surprised by a sudden downpour. The rest of the time it was sunny, including some 99 degree sections in Arizona. Never got water in the bag, everything stayed dry until the end. If you really have a complaint, there is a window on the back opposite the logo where you can put a name tag or something similar. It's well glued with a wide bearing surface, but it's accessible from the inside of the bag and I feel this is an unnecessary cut in the main body of the bag. I understand that this way the label can't get wet unless the bag inside gets wet, but I'd rather ditch the label window and keep the outer shell as uniform as possible - if anything ever goes wrong in this bag, Then it will be. . whether it's a window or a zipper in an inside pocket that I haven't used.

Pros
  • Reflective and bright safe color
Cons
  • Negative is available
