4200 Hideaway Tail Trunk - Water-Resistant, Tear-Resistant, Industrial Grade Ballistic Nylon with Adjustable Bungee Mounting System for Universal Fit - Black

This tail bag far surpasses my expectations in nearly every way. The build quality is far superior to what the amazon images let on. The stitching feels very strong, the zippers feel like quality and not cheap like a lot of others; the elastic pull string on the top doesn’t feel flimsy, and the tension mechanism is far better than I’ve encountered on any other similar system in that it holds tension by looping over itself and allows you to use this tension while moving the slider lock thing into place.I have fully replaced my 5.11 Rush 12 backpack as my commuting bag of choice when riding my motorcycle to work with this tail bag.My full ride-to-work load, which I normally would stuff into a 5.11 rush 12 backpack with additional MOLLE pouches attached, includes the following:13” laptop in sleeve2” Duty belt with toolsEmergency tool kitWarm weather glovesUniform shirt4”x9” Essentials bag (batteries, chargers, etc.)BeanieGlasses caseSunglasses caseRain jacket**South Texas winters go “30 degrees in the morning, 60 in the evening”, so the following winter clothing gets packed on the ride home:Wind breaker pantsFleece pulloverWinter glovesAs you can see in the images, these items all fit perfectly into this tail bag (rain jacket gets lashed to outside with elastic tension chord for quick access), and I could probably compress them a bit more to add in a few other small items if I needed to. During warmer weather when winter clothing is not needed, I can fit my work boots into this bag on top of all the other items and the zippers still close!In the side compartments I am able to fit small items including a camping towel, snacks bars, cold medicines (it’s that time of year here), hand lotion for chapped hands, work badge, and other small items.The rear most compartment (which doubles as a pouch that the entire bag folds itself into when not in use) is perfect for holding spare bungee chords, and other items. This particular compartment is what I wish the two side pockets were in that it is more of a pouch on the outside of the bag rather than a pocket that shares its storage space with the main compartment.What I love:- Solid construction. Very durable feeling material and quality zippers that don’t feel like they will break after only a few uses.- Looks clean. Not a lot of ugly branding.- Solid carrying handle integrated into the construction of the bag.- Large main compartment that holds enough to replace my EDC backpack, a 5.11 Rush 12 tactical MOLLE backpack.What I would improve:- When the main compartment is even moderately full, the side compartments are compressed to the point they are almost unusable except for small, flat or compressible items, such as shown in my images. I would love if these side pouches were external pockets rather than zippered pouches that share their storage space with the main compartment.- I would love if it had even a single shoulder strap. It has attachments for one on the top, which is awkward when actually implemented due to the shape this bag takes on at full capacity, but an actual strap was not included with mine. Good luck finding one. I would love to see a backpack-type shoulder strap that fits into the zippered bungee compartment on the bottom of the back that either detaches or unclips to be stored, so that you can carry it on a single shoulder when not using it one the bike.- Need more reflector strips. It has one on the two side pouches and the rear pocket (assuming you mount it on the bike correctly) but they are narrow. Would love to see these a bit wider for visibility, and maybe even in more places or at least on all 4 sides for multiple mounting orientations.- I’m a bit of a tactical geek, admittedly, but I would love to see a MOLLE version of this bag for attaching additional pouches externally. Chase Harper would tap into a whole new customer base with that if they also offered compatible pouches.- A rigid bottom layer would be great for those times when I need to carry a small amount of stuff, but I don’t have enough to fill it up. Chase harper says to flip the bag over and use the included bungee system to strap it to the bike upside down when carrying less-than-full loads, but this seems silly when they could easily include a removable rigid insert that slides into the bungee pocket. Yeah, this would likely detract from the compact fold-ability of this bag when not in use, but personally I don’t see myself stuffing this into another bag anytime soon when it is so handy.

Although I just got it and haven't had it on a trip yet, it seems very well made. I was hesitant re: the size based on a review i read here but took a chance. It's larger than I expected, and large enough for what I want. The measurements are provided in the item description and it appears a little bigger than the measurements. I can easily get a change of clothes, extra sneakers, rain gear and a shaving kit in it. Bungee straps came in a little pouch on the bottom of the bag. No regrets about my purchase.

Excellent bag! Fits essentials. Has 3 small compartments which I like. Will take you a few min to install, but once installed, it doesn’t move at all while you ride. I went through a couple hours of rain and the inside was dried. Of course, ensure zippers are always fully closed. Highly recommended.

A good bag at a great price. Made in the USA ! It is large enough and not too tall for use as a tail bag.I did not like the bungee strap system for attachment but there were loops provided so I could devise my own way to secure it to the bike.I would buy it again.

Update: Beyond pleased with the customer service the seller provided! They have agreed to send me the bungees I need to make this bag useful, without making me go through the hassle of returning and ordering another one. Good customer service is sooooo hard to find these days, so I am beyond pleased!The bag seems solid, and pretty much exactly what I need…But from everything I can see and things people have said in reviews, I expected it would come with bungees, but it didn’t. I will wait just a couple days for a response before I return it, but need it for upcoming bike trip.

Works very well for what I needed it thanks

Best motorcycle bag for the quick and easy install and removal. And quick storage for your bike. I use this daily for work and have stuffed it full from blanket and pillow to hardhat and full padded motorcycle jacket. I will buy again when mine tears up. I have hard it for three years now

For me, it’s the perfect size for my daily commute. It’s cold in the morning, so I wear pretty bulky riding pants over my thin suit pants. At work, I just fold them up & put them in this baby, which also holds my lunch, spare gloves, a laptop and a few other miscellaneous items. It attached fine with the handy bungee system, and really, how many motorcycle storage items are made in the USA? This was just perfect for my Harley FXDC!

I was very surprise and pleased..this is one beautifully thought out and manufactured bag..Made in USA --not the cheap china crap...the very tough material is fabulous with a waterproof backing..YKK zippers are like I've never seen before.Superior..The size is perfect for a sportbike..this one has excellent bungee cords, but I will use straps...plenty of loops all over for alternate fastening to bike..It's not giant, but holds plenty for a day trip..Very rugged handle on one side to carry it....All in All, Superior craftsmanship-a rare thing these days, with not so cheap$ China knockoffs of everything/

The bag is well made , seems like it should last a long time . It will fit well , using it on a snow machine. Just right for extra mitts ,hat ,glasses ,thermos and anything else for a day trip. Love it.

Seems strudy wished it was a bit bigger is alk
