Stormproof
The main compartment of Expedition Saddlebags is rated stormproof. This compartment has a roll-top closure, that ensures zero ingress of water and keeps your belongings dry.
- The Expedition Saddlebags are rated Stormproof, not Waterproof. The Expedition will keep your stuff 100% dry through rain. However, the Expedition is not submersible, and your stuff is prone to get wet if submerged under water.
- For the best Stormproof performance, we highly recommend minimum 3 folds of the roll-top closure.
Seamless Design
The Expedition Saddlebags have a unique construction. The shell of the bag is made from super strong vinyl coated waterproof 1000D Tarpaulin fabric. The seams of the panels of the main compartment are joined together by radio frequency heat welding. This means there are no stitches on the main compartment, making it 100% waterproof.
Centre Bridge
The width-adjustable centre bridge adapts to the specific rear seat width of your motorcycle and provides the perfect fit.
