【TANAX】Camping Seat Bag 2 Review

Functionality and design are quite good ◎Seat with a forward tilt is a bit of a burden

[Design]
The silhouette like a treasure chest is stylish and enhances the sense of ownership. The design is quite large, so it is suitable for medium to large sized motorcycles with a wide width.


[Loading capacity]
With a total capacity of 75 liters, it has a larger capacity than the Large type Top case, so it can be used for long distance or camping touring on consecutive days. In addition to the cargo space, it is equipped with a Holder Belt and a Holding Cord, so it is possible to load long luggage, Tent, Silver Matte, etc. without sacrificing capacity. In addition, there is a small Porch Bag on the SIDE, which is convenient for storing the attached Rain Cover, cords, or small items such as a wallet that can be quickly retrieved. In addition, there is a PET Bottle Holder and a storage bag on top of the cargo compartment for storing souvenirs, etc. It is a BigBag with load capacity that you can't imagine any more.


【Functionality】
The inner frame at the bottom is made of a hard material so that even motorcycles with small rear sets can be loaded without bending, which is good looking. The side porch is 59 liters when stowed, but it can be expanded to 75 liters. The fastener is double-layered, and when the other fastener is opened, you can directly access the cargo area from the SIDE porch. It is very good to put frequently used items in the SIDE porch and put the items that may be used next in the edge of the cargo area for quick access in case of emergency.
However, since the bag itself is large, the Rain Cover is also large, and it squeezes the storage space a little. And the Rain Cover has come off easily several times when driving at high speeds.

[Durability]
I have driven about 30,000 km with it installed and there is no noticeable damage. However, when fully loaded, the bag tilts forward when breaking. This may depend on the motorcycle, but no matter how much I pull it backward, the bag itself deforms into a rhombus shape and the top part falls forward. I don't want it to touch my back while driving, so I push it back with my ass, but it is quite stressful on mountain roads because of the acceleration and deceleration.
After a few years of use, it loses its crispness. When there is nothing in the case, the outer top cover is a little awkward.
However, the fabric itself is sturdy and can be used in direct sunlight and some rain with almost no maintenance.


【Review】
There is an advantage of a soft type bag that a hard type top case does not have. It is that its flexibility allows for a little bit of flexibility. Soft type bag can be easily packed by taking advantage of its flexibility. However, it is difficult to store a chemical fiber Schlafsack, etc. because there is a belt inside to prevent the bag from collapsing. Also, I wonder why there is a PET Bottle Holder only on one side of the Right Side.
In terms of durability, I think the product would last longer if the four corners were reinforced a bit more to prevent deflection. View detail

I have more Camping equipment.

As the number of camping tools has increased as per the title, the capacity was increased from Seat bag to Seat bag2.

I have been using a Camping seat bag for a while now, so I don't feel any discomfort, and most importantly, it is great to use with the Carbine ShellCase.

I haven't actually used it yet, but of course I could easily store the camping gear I had been using in my Seat bag.
Since the shape has only changed to a larger size, the usability remains the same.
The drawback is that it hangs down when extended because it extends beyond the ShellCase, which we knew before we purchased it.
I think the only way to counteract this is by the way the luggage is stored or by reinforcing it with paving boards inside or outside.

Henry beguine was also on my list, but I decided to go with Tannax, which I know very well. View detail

I was worried that it would not fit on my backpack because of its large size, but it fit without any problem. It does not interfere with getting on or off the train. View detail

Reliable Seat bag

I used it to go around Japan.
In addition to the large capacity of the main cargo area (59 liters), there are many side pockets and nets that make it easy to organize small items.
Camping touring tends to involve a lot of small stuff, so it's easy to keep things organized to prevent loss and save you the trouble of searching for things.

The downside is that it's not waterproof, but if you know that it's not waterproof, it's fine.
It was enough for me to put anything I didn't want to get wet in a zip lock.

During the round trip around Japan, I loaded and unloaded the bag every day, and as expected, the bottom of the bag became frayed and had holes in it. However, I think the durability of the bag is good because I use it harshly every day.

This is a good SeatBack that I can wholeheartedly recommend. View detail

Very good!

I use it with HONDA CRF250L. I used to use Material:I used to use Plastic Box.
It's a pain to remove, so I usually left it on.
It's fine for touring, but usually it's a bit of a hindrance, and it makes the motorcycle look like a bad parenthesis.
Material:I was a little worried that the Plastic Box would crack if I fell.
That's why I decided to use the long-established TANAX bag.
The Camping seat bag is very Parenthesis and has a large capacity to hold a lot of camping equipment.
It is also very easy to load and unload from the SIDE of the Motorcycle.
Loading on the Motorcycle is easy with the included Belt. Very nice! This has become my favorite Bag. View detail
