Solid bag
Big enough to fit a full face helmet inside. It is a little complicated to attach to the corresponding saddle bags but the quality is very high

Best alternative to a tank bag that I've seen!
Been trying to figure out the best way to carry stuff. Backpack or messenger bag? Pain in the shoulders. Don't much care for riding around town with my Givi saddlebags on either -- they make my BMW F650GS feel so wide. And since I'm short, I'd be straining to look over a tank bag to see my gauges. Voila! (Or should I say "Duh!") Discovered the option of a tail bag. This Ogio is a good size for most commuting needs (lunch, jacket, couple of library books, random things you like to have on hand) and expands enough to use for a small haul from the grocery store or for use as an overnight bag. Quick release straps make it easy to take along if the contents are valuable. Waterproof cover folds back into its own pocket so you don't drop it somewhere. Even full, the bag remains low enough for me to swing my leg over when I get on/off the bike. Place anywhere. Mine's on the seat behind me, secured to frame under my seat and then to the back rack. I don't often have passengers and I still have room for a duffel or drybag. The Ogio was less expensive than other, similar sized bags and sometimes I hesitate to pay less in case the quality is compromised. Not so on this bag. A good value and I'm super happy with it.

Perfect for Commuting
This tail bag is a must have. I've owned it for over a month now and am beyond happy with the excellent build quality and ease of install. The straps leave plenty of room for setup for either externally or internally beneath the seat as I have done. (See Pics)
Revzilla was extremely helpful the entire way and prompted me with every move my purchase was taking. Best motorcycle site PERIOD.

Awesome!!
Didnʻt really like having a backpack on me when I rode. After researching a bit, I bought this Ogio tail bag. LOVE IT! Use it all the time. Side pockets fit my gloves, keys, phone. Main compartment fits a bunch of lettuce and a bananas. Thatʻs the most I put in anyways :) It would fit a pair of sneakers and light change of clothes to give you a more practical application. I cross the straps under my passenger seat, so I can detach the bag and go (leaving the straps). Enjoy.

Awesome Tail Bag!
I needed the ability to carry something other than my cell phone and wallet when riding. I didn't like the idea of a tank bag. Just don't like the way they look, the fact that it covers up the fuel door or the idea of having to lean over cargo. I researched a bunch of tail bags and not one could beat the Ogio. It is extremely well made, has expandable storage and looks great. I can ALMOST fit my Arai profile helmet in the bag with the expansion zipper undone, but not quite. Typically, I carry a pair of shoes, hoodie, a bottle of water, snack bars, a second visor. No problem with this bag. Carrying a 13" MacBook is not a problem either. The side and top pockets are really useful for carrying smaller items. I haven't needed it, but the integrated rain cover is great to have on standby. The best part is that it comes undone with floor snap-clips and you're able to carry it inside your home or office in no time at all. The straps are long enough that it should fit a wide variety of bikes. That said, I had to get creative to make the straps work on mine. Definitely recommended!

Great option for daily rides, or for an overnight
Does what it should do. I ride a BMW K1200RS, and don't like the hard sidebags when I am riding to the mountains for a day or two of twisties (they cause some wind buffeting at 90+ on the 100 miles of Interstate I must use to get to the N. GA Mountains, and they take the fun out of the 2 lane hairpins once I am there). So I leave the sidebags home, and use the OsioTail Bag instead. It holds some spare clothes, a couple of bottles of water, expanded tool-kit, rain-gear, etc., neatly and securely, without the aerodynamic cost of the sidebags, at a fraction of the cost of a hard trunk, and frees up my tank bag for more immediate needs. Reasonably rigid for a soft bag. Attaches very easily with straps, and quick-disconnects. If I could ask for one improvement it would be to give it a bit more room, perhaps by making it a little taller, or enhancing the side pockets. Great product as is, though.

Flexible tail bag for day trips.
Bought this because I didn't want to have to wear a backpack on day rides to carry things like water, rain liner, some power bars, shield cleaner, and stuff like that as my bike has no storage.
This bag attaches nicely to my bikes small rear rack with 4 web type straps with pinch clips on them. I just loop the straps around the rear passenger grab handles and the base of the rack and it clips on in about 10 seconds. Its definitely on there securely because I've been decently into triple digits (closed course) and it didn't budge.
The neoprene base has good grip and seems like it wouldn't hurt paint, but it doens't touch paint on my bike anyway.
One of the really nice features is that its expandable. At its smallest form, it fits my rain liner, extra pair of gloves, a couple 1 litre water bottles, some power bars, and other odds and ends in the main compartment. Expanded, I can (just barely) fit my girlfriends full face helmet in it If I go pick her up for a ride but she left her helmet at my place.
I got it cause I wanted something compact and inconspicous for day rides and it fits that bill nicely.
