The Stinger 8 is an incredibly versatile roll-top drybag designed to mount as a tail/fender bag on smaller bikes, for carrying tools, tubes and other essentials, or as a topper on hard-side panniers or top boxes. It also turns into a backpack, in case you need a daypack for hiking into a hot spring, or making a quick trip to the store for supplies. The backpack straps stash away in an internal pocket, and then deploy through the opening of the bag, clipping to two d-rings on the bottom.

On the bottom of the Stinger 8, we added four sewn-on connection straps that loop through ladderlocks on the top of the bag so that you can connect it to fender cleats on a dirt bike or to a luggage rack or hard-side pannier. When not in use, the straps stash away in a flat pocket on the back. If you prefer to use a different connection system, there are webbing pass-throughs on the top of the bag, which can accommodate any kind of strap.

When the Stinger is set up as a backpack, its capacity is larger than 8L.

Great little bag , perfect size for all my necessary gear . Top product , highly recommended
I really liked the product. I had big expectation about quality and usability, both were surpassed. I bought to avoid using a backpack for errants or small unplanned trips out of the city and having the backpack straps is definetly a win-win.
Starting out with: I got this for my BMW 310R because I needed a solid place to carry things like an epi-pen that are annoying large in women’s non-existent pockets, so the backpack feature is a definite bonus. I’m a sewist, so was immediately impressed with the detail and stitch placement, as well as the quality of seam tape used. Regularly use the bag on the 310R, where I wish it had clips to do some quick disconnects, but absolutely love it, and can make those myself if I want. Recently went for a ride with my SO where we ended up picking up some things at a hardware store, rummage sale, and free-at-a-driveway iris rhizomes. This was the only bag we had: it just kept expanding! No comments about how SO should have brought his bags, because this little bag is like a bag of holding. Bought a Honda CRF300. It is 100% obvious that this is the kind of bike this bag was designed for. Got a little muddy, everything wipes off with a damp cloth. No complaints there. My only real gripe with the bag is I wish it had more clips. That said, fully expect to have to buy another one after my SO steals mine.
This is an excellent product. High quality, durable construction and functionality. I wanted a small tail bag to keep all my emergency repair stuff in and the 8L is perfect. I've stuffed in a couple inner tubes, some tire repair items and tools. There is still room left over for some other items. By itself, this is a great bag for short day rides but because of the way it can be attached, it will incorporate into other luggage for long trips. On top of all that, it easily converts to a backpack! Price was very reasonable compared to other bags but the construction, waterproofness and versatility make this the best small tail bag available in my opinion, I really love this bag.
As I've gotten deeper into adventure motorcycling and motocamping, my kit has gotten smaller and lighter. Consequently, my Backcountry Panniers on my Africa Twin are capable of holding my entire camp kit, clothes, and anything I might need for a small trip with extra room to spare. This eliminated the need for a large topcase, larger tail bag, or any need for extra capacity on the back of the bike. I did, however, have a need to carry some items atop the bike purely for protection when the bike goes down. This is where the Stinger 8 came in. I decided I'd use the Stinger 8 to keep more expensive and easily crushable items (like my Jetboil) in when I'm traveling. It works amazingly for this purpose, and the size is pretty much perfect. I keep my entire cook kit with food/coffee materials in this bag when I travel. It's an easy, convenient, and effective way to keep my mess kit, food, and stove separate from the rest of my luggage, and if I need to separate it from my campsite at night while I sleep, it makes it easy to do that too. I've decided to give this bag 4 stars in stead of 5 because I wish the backpack straps were removable. They do take up a little bit of space on the inside of the bag, and I will never use them unless the bag is no longer mountable to my motorcycle. I also would like it better if the roll top could be buckled to the body of the bag (similarly to the backcountry bags) rather than buckled to itself. These are just a couple of minor things that would improve the bag for my specific use case, but the bag is fantastic. It is perfect for someone who doesn't need a lot of capacity or something super rugged up high on the back of their bike. Cutting down the weight and luggage riding on the rear rack of the bike has made a considerable difference in the feel of the bike, especially offroad.
