The loops along either side of the bag work well for tie downs to go through. Love the purge valve, although it would be even better on the bottom so I could roll it up even farther. My water bottle secures in the side, outside pocket(s) are convenient for odds and ends you don't want to unroll and unpack the bag for like sunscreen and sunglasses. As other reviewers have said, don't bother with the stock tie downs. Use rok straps, it's safer.I'm surprised to find that unless I have a LOT of stuff in the bag I just wear it as a backpack. It's comfortable and secure, and I don't generally like riding with a backpack. Well designed. For overnights, I toss my whole regular backpack INSIDE the 40L rather than re-pack my day-to-day items, and still have room for street ... MoreThe loops along either side of the bag work well for tie downs to go through.

When I go on multiple week trips this will fit everything that won't fit in my side panniers, also roll tops.I might also experiment with using this for overnight hiking after riding my bike to a trailhead.

I got the 20L to pair with my Giant Loop Coyote bag for week long camping/colder weather trips. I was worried it wouldn't be quite big enough, but it is surprisingly spacious. Simply put, its well build bag. Waterproof, durable, comfortable as a backpack and lots of mounting points as a tail bag. One surprising feature are the bottle holders. The picture it looks like just a simple cord, but its actually a full buckle strap that secures the mouth of the bottle. One of my favorite features is that I don't have to remove the straps securing the bag to access a drink, and with the straps on it feels very secure. I didn't use the provided securement straps because I already use ROK straps, they appear fully capable though. I got it for the longer trips, but after using ... MoreI got the 20L to pair with my Giant Loop Coyote bag for week long camping/colder weather trips.

Great backpack very spacious! Have not had to test it out in the rain yet (CA) but keep all my electronics in the large bag as the exterior "mesh pocket" is for water-resistant items. Not sure how it will hold up to more dry conditions over time. Use it mostly as a tail bag than a backpack since when full can get pretty heavy. I like the ease of on/off the straps, they feel secure.

I got the 40L version as a tail bag for my 650 to do BDR type traveling. I probably could have done just fine with the smaller version for my needs since I also have side panniers. The quality is outstanding and the two fuel bottle pockets are very secure. I also like the map/MOLLE flap and shock cord for lashing quick grab items or drying out my towel, funky items, etcNelson Rigg does not do a great job at calling out product features on their website or product tags. This is going to be one of my favorite bike accessories and is handy as a travel pack in general.
I have bought the 40L version and over all the bag fits a lot of stuff. Sleeping bag, tent, tent tarp, air bed roll, helinox camp chair & a camp pillow all fit easily. The webbing loops are very handy and the air valve is nice to compress everything down. Just a couple of things that if Rigg could change would make this bag perfect:1. Tie down straps are a little too short, maximum length is 42.5"(108cm) and when you load the bag up it is just a little too short to close and cinch down. Another 6" of strap and they will be perfect.2. The side bottle pockets have a bungee cord with a locker however there is nothing at the end to keep the locker from sliding completely off. This is pretty annoying having that locker slide completely off and fall to the ... MoreI have bought the 40L version and over all the bag fits a lot of stuff.

This is pretty annoying having that locker slide completely off and fall to the ground/brush/mud etc then try to put back on. The bungee as is it too short to knot or I would of knotted it, suggest Rigg to knot is with longer bungee or put a stopper loop on the bungee to keep it from sliding off.3. Some better system to stow the backpack straps. Not a huge deal but would be nice, or provide some clear instruction of how to stow them away.Overall I really like the bag. No water got in during a 3 day ride/camp trip that rained everyday all day. I do recommend.

So far I haven’t had to test the waterproof features yet since it has only sprinkled a bit during my ride so far, but I will try to update this review when the inevitable rain happens. I use it to carry all my rain gear and lunches to work along with a few odds and ends and have a huge amount of space left. In fact I picked up 120 hotdogs for a cook out on the way home and could have fit many more without even stuffing it.The construction is simple with one big area inside with a pocket for an iPad or similar tablet or laptop with no straps along with a pretty big pocket with really strong Velcro and a Molle panel with a small zippered pocket that looks to be waterproof. I wrap the extra strap lengths up and secure them with the elastic bands to keep them from flapping around. The bag compresses down easily with the waterproof purge valve into a manageable size for my normal commute every day and I know that I could fit many vinyl records if I end up at the record store and get a little crazy. This is what killed my last backpack’s zipper. ?? So far I really like it and will update this if anything changes.sider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.
40 gallons might seem like a lot, but it compresses to a nice size when you're not using the whole bag. I've had my helmet, jacket, boots, tools in it and closed with no issue. It's pretty solid and works as advertised, I've gotten caught in the rain a couple times and the contents have stayed dry, with it also having a life time warranty I'm not worried about treating it gently and despite that their hasn't been any sort of damage thus far having it. 10/10 item.
I wanted a bag that I could use daily for commuting that had room to toss in some groceries or carry some essentials on longer rides with my wife. This bag delivers on both fronts easily. There is no denying that it is MASSIVE (some folks don't quite understand how big 40L is apparently), however with the one-way valve you can squeeze this bag down to roughly the same size as most 20-30L backpacks, depending on the contents of course. I commute 75 miles a day roundtrip and do no feel any fatigue or discomfort from the pack and mounting to the rear rack as luggage is quick and simple. The construction is super bomber and I do not worry about this bag lasting for quite some time. If you are looking for a burly all-conditions bag that can carry almost anything you own, ... MoreI wanted a bag that I could use daily for commuting that had room to toss in some groceries or carry some essentials on longer rides with my wife.

The construction is super bomber and I do not worry about this bag lasting for quite some time. If you are looking for a burly all-conditions bag that can carry almost anything you own, that works both as a backpack and strap-on luggage, and can be compressed down to a much smaller package when carrying less, this is for you! Only knock, as others have stated, there are no real internal storage dividers besides the laptop sleeve but this also means less seams and perforations in the material overall. I luckily have stuff sacks falling out of my ears and was able to divide up the gear I carry into convenient order.
I do love this backpack. I have it mounted on the six pack rack of my banshee most of the time and have not had any problems with it staying put. The only reason i give it 4 stars is the map pocket is almost impossible to close(its like a ziploc bag style) and i left it mounted on the way back home(obvi it had to pour that morning) on the trailer and it did get wet inside. Other than that it did stay dry on the trails, next time i will take it off wen trailering.
The bag is everything that it is advertised to be. I purchased it to do a weekend 1000 mile trip that involved some camping and strapped it down to the back of my 06 zx10r using rok straps. I was able to fit an air mattress, sleeping bag, tent, heated gear, rain gear & normal clothing. I than attached to the top of the bag another water proof bag using the straps that are included. it worked out perfectly. i rode through a decent amount of rain and it is definitely waterproof. the additional exterior compartments, loops and straps allow for multiple mounting and securing options. the only place that this bag fell short for me was when you roll/twist the top of the bag up and than secure it using the clips running along the side of the bag down where the fuel ... MoreThe bag is everything that it is advertised to be.
