greater versatility to the point that some of these are
also waterproof … and yes, they really are. There’s a
reversable pocket for maps, bungy webbing and pockets
for items that don’t need to be protected from the
elements, all allowing for ease of access.
On the back the Hurricane, at least the smaller of the
two is comfortable to the point that once on you’d be
hard pressed to even realise you’re wearing it. Plenty of
padded straps keep the bag secure and with three-way
adjustment it remains where you put it.
For the rider that likes to drink while riding there’s
even provisions for a hydration pack to be included
(purchased separately).
When not wearing the Hurricane, it comes
with a quick release strap system that turns the
pack quickly into a tailbag, providing greater
versatility.
There’s little to fault with the Hurricane
however, ours did see one of the straps (and
buckles) ripped from the bag without us even
knowing how it happened. It occurred on the
road, so was fixed with gaffer and fabric tape … as
good as new … it does the job.
Nelson Rigg do state that they offer a Lifetime
Warranty, we never chased this up so can’t verify the
process.
In all, the Hurricane 20 litre is a perfect bag for bike
travel; it’s small, comfortable, durable, versatile to the
point that we use it for travel by bike as well as hiking
off the bike and goes most places.
The 20 litre Hurricane (L 32cm x W 12cm x H 58cm)
retails for around AU$159.95 and the large version 40
litre (L 32cm x W 15cm x H 77cm) is $189.95, and for
that they are some of the best value you will find.
