This lightweight, ultra-compact water-resistant/repellent sil-nylon reusable bag is packs anywhere and doubles as a functional backpack. Jam one behind the headlight or a side panel and it will stay there until needed. Or toss inside another pack or Messenger Bag.
They are built to last. All seams are reinforced with binding for durability and strength. The handle loops are tacked and bound, then reinforced again – so they won’t pull off. Two draw cord closure straps of flat webbing secure a quick cinch closure. Bottom corners are reinforced with Cordura pack cloth.
The draw cords lock to desired length so they can function as backpack-style shoulder straps. A small stuff-pocket is located high on the interior to double as easy-access storage for keys or a phone.
Carries fine across shorter surface street distances by threading one’s left forearm through the handles so the bag hangs just in front of the left knee, too. Inspired by Mark Lindemann, motorcycle industry veteran and author of ‘The Total Motorcycling Manual’ (#5506). Blue. 4.5"×3.75"×2" (compressed), 19"×20"×18" (expanded).
An indispensable tool for everyday, frequent and utility riders. I carry two every day (!): One is always in the top pocket of my ‘daily’ backpack, and the other wedged between the speedo and headlight of my ‘daily’ motorcycle, for whenever I’m not wearing the backpack. A third LP Bag is also packed with long-distance MC travel gear.
At your weekly grocery store the heavier items go into your messenger bag or backpack, and the lighter stuff goes into this bag, which then hangs from your wrist or forearm directly in front of your left knee for your ___ mile ride home. No need to figure out how to bungee anything on, andno need for saddle bags.
The key is absolute simplicity and spectacular build-quality. These types of bags are generally cheap and crappy. This one is tough and long-use durable with superior stitching and attention to detail everywhere. My first one survived more than twenty years of bi-weekly use, and though it’s now showing wear, it still works fine.
We could never find a nice one of these after several years of looking, so we designed and made one ourselves. This is a versatile lifesaver, and you will not be disappointed.
PS - Similarly indispensable for all bicycle-transportation riders.
