This moto-duffle does it all: it's a duffle, a backpack, and a quick-stash spot during the day. It's a way to keep your wet jacket separate from your dry sleeping bag. It serves as a clean food prep surface next to the campfire and a convenient tool tray for roadside field repairs. Pair it with our Backcountry Cinch Straps for rock-solid attachment to your bike. The newly updated Backcountry Duffle is available in two sizes, a 40L version, and a 30L vers

DESIGN

Updates to Version 2.5

  • 100% recycled 1680D Ballistic Nylon and eco-friendly PVC backing (this is the main feature update and has a pretty big impact on our footprint)
  • Aesthetic, trims, and logo updates

With the Backcountry Duffle, we wanted to design a motorcycle bag from the ground up. Two things jumped out at us right away. First, we hated having to unpack the entire back of the bike just to put something in or take it out. If you picture a traditional roll-top duffle, the straps connecting it to the bike are going over the opening, meaning you have to undo the straps to get inside. Plus, because the bag sits on the back of the bike, it is too high to see inside by the time you unroll the opening, so you take it off the bike and set it on the ground. If you’re getting in and out of the bag several times a day, this can get pretty annoying.

Second, traditional single-layer dry bag duffles have a very limited lifespan. There are so many things that can cause them to fail. Campfire sparks, abrasion from a crash, abrasion from the rack it sits on, heat from the exhaust, cracks from sun damage, etc. As soon as anything happens to the bag, it’s not waterproof anymore. And if that happens in the middle of a trip it sucks.

To solve that problem, we came up with the idea of a bag that’s actually two bags – an inner waterproof bag and an outer abrasion-proof bag. We made it a double-ended roll top so you can get things in and out without unstrapping it from the bike, and added a beavertail to stash your jacket or wet/dirty items you don’t want inside the dry bag. These things can be stored externally without getting inside the duffle at all.

Then we added backpack straps. Riding 50+ miles on dirt is no big deal on an adventure bike, but if you break down and find yourself hiking out, it’s a long friggin way, man. Having a comfortable backpack is key. That was the original idea behind the backpack straps, but it turns out it’s also super handy for getting everything into a hotel room in a single trip. When you’re traveling internationally, sometimes it’s not ok to leave half your stuff on the bike while you take the other half inside. With the Backcountry duffle, put the duffle on your back, grab a pannier in each hand, and you’re mobile. The straps make it a great airline carry-on for fly-to-ride trips or general travel.

IMPORTANT NOTES

There are two things that take some getting used to on this duffle: First, the materials are really thick, which means that rolling/unrolling the roll-top feels a little cumbersome at first if you’re used to thinner kayak dry bags or stuff sacks. The materials loosen up with time, have no fear. Second, compared to a top-loader, the double-ended roll-top has a narrower throat. So when you’re in your tent or in your hotel room, sorting through the stuff inside is not as easy as it would be with a top-loader. We make top-loaders too; check out our Scout 30/50 duffle if that’s the way you’re leaning.

Connection Strap Note: For pavement and graded road riding, virtually any kind of connection strap will work to attach this duffle to the bike. For rough, ungraded terrain or for long-distance, multi-month trips, we highly recommend the Backcountry Cinch Strap, designed specifically for this bag and this kind of travel. Whatever strap you choose, if you are riding offroad, please avoid bungy cords, stretchable elastic straps, or straps with plastic side-release buckles. Even a simple cam buckle strap (like this one by DaKine) is better than elastic.

Honda Transalp XL750 & Backcountry 40L Duffle

Ich habe mir den Backcountry 40L Duffle in Kombination mit dem Backcountry Panniers gekauft und bin begeistert von der Qualität dieser Tasche! Die Verarbeitung und das Material sind absolut mega und vermutlich nur schwer kaputt zu bekommen. Alles fühlt sich extrem robust an und macht einen wirklich hochwertigen Eindruck. Wasserdichtigkeit kann ich aktuell noch nicht bestätigen, da ich zum Glück immer trocken unterwegs war.

Die beidseitige Öffnung ist genial. Ich komme an alles ran und muss nicht mehr die komplette Tasche abnehmen. Beim Beavertail war ich skeptisch, ist aber super praktisch, um schnell mal ne Jacke außen zu verstauen.

Auch bei der Rucksackfunktion hätte ich nie gedacht, dass ich sie überhaupt nutzen würde, aber gerade wenn man ins Hotel muss und mal wieder alles auf einmal tragen will, ist es eine große Hilfe.

Der Preis ist nicht der günstigste, aber für diese Qualität und Funktionalität bezahle ich das gerne. Ich würde alles bisher gekaufte von Mosko Moto sofort wieder kaufen. Ich habe es schon in meiner anderen Rezension zu den Panniers geschrieben, aber auch hier möchte ich nochmal erwähnen: Der Kundenservice war jederzeit freundlich und hat schnell reagiert, wenn ich vor dem Kauf noch Fragen hatte.

Not too shabby of a bag..

Styling and quality gets an A +.. the depth of that bags makes you think hard on what to pack - need to pack flat or tightly rolled items.. the rubber grid squares on top are for ?.. actually used the for tie downs.. price is a bit steep .. you can get a fairly decent set for the price.. returning large bags is a bugger.. overall it's not too shabby!

Amazing versatility!

First, the quality of the Backcountry duffel is outstanding! Materials and construction are absolutely fantastic! Second, the versatility is top notch; accessibility from both ends was key on my recent 10-day Crater Lake trip! If you are pondering this bag, I highly recommend you buy it…you will not be disappointed.
