Course Motorcycle Backpack Review

The Course motorcycle backpack offers riders a practical carrying solution packed with useful features. As an avid motorcyclist myself, I understand the need for versatile luggage that can stand up to the demands of life on two wheels. The Course bag aims to fill that need with a rugged, thoughtfully designed pack.

Storage Capacity and Water Resistance

When it comes to carrying your gear, the Course backpack offers ample storage with 32 liters of total capacity. This provides plenty of room for essentials like rain gear, tools, spare parts, or an extra layer. Despite the large storage capability, the Course backpack maintains a slim profile and won't feel bulky or cumbersome while riding.

Storage Compartments and Pockets

The Course backpack offers versatile storage options to keep your belongings organized and secure. Inside the main compartment, there is a large opening for easy access to your gear. This main section also contains a laptop sleeve with a velcro tab to protect your computer while riding. At the very top of the bag, there is a smaller pocket lined with soft fleece – perfect for storing fragile items like sunglasses or a smartphone.

Comfort Features

The Course backpack prioritizes rider comfort through its shoulder strap and back panel design. The shoulder straps are padded for comfort and fully adjustable on both sides to fit a variety of torso lengths. This allows the bag to be positioned properly on the back. A chest strap also goes across the sternum, clipping the two shoulder straps together to keep the bag secure. On hot riding days, the aerated panel placed against the rider's back prevents a sweaty back by allowing air to flow. Together, these well-designed comfort features help distribute weight evenly and take a comfortable load onto the rider's back - reducing strain during long days on the motorcycle. The adjustability provides a customized, stable and comfortable fit for riders of all sizes.

Helmet Carrying System

One of the most unique and practical features of the Course backpack is its integrated helmet carrying system. At the bottom of the bag, there is a zippered compartment that contains a foldable helmet holder. You simply place your helmet on top of the bag, pull the helmet netting up and over, and secure it in place. The netting features a drawstring to cinch the helmet tightly to the backpack. Additionally, there are three adjustable straps with clips to lock the helmet firmly in place - one at the top of the back panel, and one on each side. This provides a secure way to transport your riding helmet when you are off your motorcycle. No more awkwardly juggling your helmet in your hands! The helmet carrying system is an incredibly convenient solution that further demonstrates how the Course backpack aims to address motorcyclists' specific needs with its thoughtful design.

Additional Details

The Course backpack comes with several additional features that make it practical and versatile for motorcyclists' needs. First, it is hydration bladder ready, with a tab at the top to secure the bladder and a hole for the drinking tube and nozzle to feed through. This allows riders to stay hydrated while on the go. The bag does not include the bladder itself, but these can be purchased as an accessory from 24MX to pair with the backpack. Finally, with storage for helmets, laptops, water bottles, tripods, and more, the Course backpack aims to provide a solution for carrying a wide range of gear that riders may need to transport. Whether you need to stow photographic equipment, keep electronics protected, or carry an extra helmet once you reach your destination, this backpack offers thoughtful compartments and features to organize your cargo and make your next motorcycle adventure more convenient.

FAQs

Conclusion

The Course motorcycle backpack offers riders a versatile and practical carrying solution. With a 32 liter capacity and water resistant construction, it provides ample organized storage for the road. Pockets and compartments keep laptops, hydration bladders, smaller valuables and other gear secure while adjustable straps, chest clips, and an aerated back panel promote carrying comfort. Arguably its most unique feature, the foldable helmet holder allows riders to securely fasten their helmet to the pack when off the bike.
