Gearing Up for the Road: Motorcycle Bags
Getting back out on the road? Flying Solo Gear Co bags are made by, and for, local riders who know that some of Australia’s best spots can only be found when travelling by motorbike. We live and breathe motorcycles and are experienced riders and innovators who continuously look at the everyday gear and bags we need to get the best out of every day while staying safe and secure.
If you’re in the market for a new motorbike bag, you’re in luck. With a growing range of carry items that suit everyday commutes to long-haul trips, each one of our products has been tried, tested, and verified as one of the best.
Wondering what makes a great bag, what you should look for when shopping online, and what innovations we consider and manufacture into every piece? Read on to learn more about some of the must-have features and considerations and how Flying Solo Gear can make your bag dreams come true.
Size, Specifications, and Functionality: Motorcycle Bags 101
We get it—the growing range of motorcycle clothing, accessories, and parts on the market make shopping online feel like being a kid in a candy store. Instead of getting bogged down by great-looking features and forgetting to consider a bag's safety, functionality, and durability, we’ve rounded up some of the must-haves that every kit should include—regardless of what it looks like.
- Durability: From the textile choice to hard inner shells and back protectors, the durability of a bag isn’t only about how many years you’ll get out of it—it’s how it will stand up against the elements, protect your gear, and keep you safe.
- Weather-proofing: Waterproof tailbags might seem like a luxury—until the wind and rain damage everything you’ve stored. For the riders who commute to work every day and those travelling on multi-day trips, make sure that your supplies are protected from the elements and water in every way possible—from materials, to zipper locks, to pockets.
- Accessibility: All the well-packed gear in the world won’t make a difference if you can’t access your supplies when needed. Look for features that have considered how you’ll use your stuff—even when donning an inflexible one-piece suit. From glove-friendly pulleys to well-placed zippers, ensure you’ll be able to access your water, ID, and sustenance as needed.
Wondering what features Flying Solo Gear Co is continually redesigning and how we’re getting every rider ready for the road?

- Fade-resistant Fabrics: To get a long life out of your bag, we source textiles that can stand up to long outdoor trips in the Australian sun.
- Contouring: To reduce rider fatigue and prevent wind drag, you can stay upright and in the right position.
