Motorcycle Backpacks FAQ's

What's the difference between a motorcycle backpack and a regular backpack?
Motorcycle backpacks are purpose-built for riding. many feature aerodynamic shapes to reduce drag, sternum and waist straps to keep the bag secure at high speeds, and are often made of waterproof or water-resistant materials. They're designed not to flap around or shift your balance while you're leaning into a corner.

Are motorcycle backpacks waterproof?
Many motorcycle backpacks are highly water-resistant, using treated-nylon shells and "garage" flaps over the zippers. For 100% waterproofing, look for a bag with a "roll-top" closure. This design, common in dry bags, creates a perfect seal that keeps water out even in the heaviest downpour.

Is it safe to ride with a backpack?
Yes, it is generally safe to ride with a backpack designed for motorcycling. The key is to make sure it's properly secured with the chest and waist straps so it can't shift around. Some riders prefer to use tail bags or saddlebags to keep the weight off their back, which can improve comfort on very long rides.

Should I get a backpack with a back protector?
Some motorcycle backpacks have a pocket for an optional back protector insert. While your jacket should be your primary source of impact protection, adding a back protector to your bag can provide another layer of safety. It's a great feature to look for, but not a substitute for a good riding jacket.
