Rigg Gear Hurricane Adventure Waterproof Tank Bag

  I was in need of a new tank bag for our KLR650R, and I had a few boxes that needed to be checked before investing in a bag that would, probably, be on this machine for the rest of its life. 

Being a KLR that will be at least another century or two.

It was easy to zero in on Rigg Gear’s Hurricane Series of Adventure Luggage. We have featured a few of these offerings over the last few seasons and their Hurricane Adventure Waterproof Tank Bag looked like the way to go. It was plenty big for day-to-day use holding a full 8-liters, without gobbling up the entire surface of the Kawasaki; measuring just 14”L x 7.5”W x 9.5”H.

The Hurricane Bag is seriously tough, and very well made from heavy-duty UV-treated PVC Tarpaulin material, with all the seams electronically heat welded. Inside it uses an adjustable divider to help keep your tank bag gear in order, and a clear touch-friendly screen for smartphone directions or maps. Getting in and out of this bag is very simple, and quick.

One thought with my previous bag was that it needed a rain cover for the wet. That really was not a deal breaker, but the Hurricane Adventure Waterproof Tank Bag is really, totally water-proof, and this tank bag closes with a waterproof flap that helps keep dust & dirt away from the waterproof zippers. That is four ‘waterproofs’ in one sentence. 

Your stuff will stay dry, without any effort or worry on your part.

The Hurricane Adventure Waterproof Tank Bag is kept securely in place by four tidy quick-release straps and utilizes a protective base material that both keeps the bag from sliding around and protects the tank's paint. Off the bike, a handy and rubberized carry handle makes for easy transport.

The Hurricane Adventure Waterproof Tank Bag comes with a lifetime warranty, and it lists for $164.95 from nelsonrigg.com.
