Wolfman went all out to create the new Expedition Dry Saddlebags. These bags are designed to be durable and 100% waterproof, for the most adventurous and aggressive riders around. They started with burly 22 ounce and 34 ounce vinyl, and used cutting edge Radio Frequency technology for completely sealed welded seams.

The bags are available with a standard throw over fixing or with quick fit fixings to suit other manufacturers pannier frames (i.e. Hepco & Becker, SW-Motech, Givi, etc)

Wolfman called on friend Ned Sueese from the Dual Sport Riding Techniques DVDs. Ned is a leader in his field and gave expert beta advice on the bag design. Looking at riding extremes, beta testing was geared towards the ultra-aggressive adventure rider. Ultimately though, the functional simplicity of the bag-rack system works for everyone.

These Saddle Bags have two straps over the seat and each bag attaches to the Side Rack with 4 points for maximum hold. The mounting straps double as compression straps to keep the load attached and tight. During testing once the bags were attached to the racks, they were attached so securely that the bike could be dragged by the bags. Wolfman's mission was to create a functional, sturdy and quick release Saddle bag system that will act as one with bike and rider. No loose moving bags here!

If needed, these saddle bags can be mounted on other racks with a universal throw over mount like that on our Summit Saddle Bags and our previous Expedition Saddle Bags. Options and versatility!

They use an internal Butterfly stiffener, stiff back, bottom and front, which helps the bag retain shape and allows the load to be compressed tightly. A replaceable (!) non-skid rubber pad (made from recycled tires - how cool is that?) on the bike-side of the bag prevents excessive bag movement and protects the bag from vibration abrasion.

Check out the mounting video below. Please note that the video shows Wolfman's own racks that are in development. For fixing to 'standard' tubular racks 'loop and d-rings' are supplied to affix to rack tube. The loop and d-rings stay attached to the pannier frame and do the same job as the wire hoops in the vid.
