Tactical XL — 45L Motorcycle Backpack

SKU 56260· Cordura shell· Universal sissy-bar fit· 45 L

This is the bag that turns a day ride into a weekend without a top box. It opens flat to 180° so you're not digging blind, straps to a sissy bar for the highway, then pulls off as a real padded backpack the second you park at the overlook. 45 liters swallows a weekend, and the weather-resistant Cordura shrugs off the surprise squall that always finds you in the mountains.

Weekend in one bag

45 liters and a flat-open lid mean you pack it like a suitcase, not a stuff sack — enough for a two-night trophy run with room for the layers you'll shed by noon.

Built for the bike

Sissy-bar loop straps (12–16") lock it down at speed, so the weight rides the frame — not your shoulders — on the long highway slabs between the good roads.

Shrugs off weather

Weather-resistant Cordura and an included wet pouch keep the surprise mountain squall on the outside. Your phone, wallet, and dry socks stay dry.

Off-bike daypack

Padded shoulder straps stow away for the ride, then pop out at the trailhead. One bag covers the overlook hike, the coffee stop, and the laptop on Monday.
