Collection: Backpacks

Motorcycle riding backpacks are specialized bags designed to carry gear, tools, and personal items while riding, engineered to be more secure, aerodynamic, and safety-conscious than regular backpacks. Unlike standard backpacks, riding-specific designs feature chest and waist straps to keep the pack stable and prevent shifting at speed, aerodynamic profiles to reduce wind resistance and fatigue, and reinforced construction with abrasion-resistant materials like ballistic nylon or Cordura. Many include back protector inserts (CE-rated armor) that serve dual purposes of comfort and spine protection in a crash, helmet carriers for securing a helmet when off the bike, and hydration bladder compartments with tube routing for drinking while riding. Key features include waterproof materials or rain covers to protect contents, reflective panels for visibility, ventilated back panels with mesh or air channels to reduce sweat buildup, and smart organization with dedicated compartments for laptops, tools, locks, and riding gear. Popular models range from compact 15-20 liter day packs for commuting to larger 30-40 liter touring packs for multi-day trips, with brands like Kriega, Ogio and Alpinestars, offering purpose-built options. Some advanced designs feature no-bounce harness systems that keep the pack completely stable even during aggressive riding, expandable storage, quick-release buckles for easy removal with gloves on, and modular attachment points for strapping additional gear externally, making them far superior to regular backpacks for the specific demands and safety considerations of motorcycling.
