1/21 Tested 10 waterproof backpacks for motorcyclists. The test winner is the SW-Motech Triton, the tip is for the Moto-Detail Drypack.
mps photo studio
2/21 Büse backpack waterproof: Simple sack made of heavy truck tarpaulin, well suited for the quick transport of larger, bulky things.
mps photo studio
3/21 Sensitive goods must be carefully packed due to the lack of (padded) extra compartments.
mps photo studio
4/21 FC-Moto Hump 2.0: Its biggest argument is the currently unbeatable promotional price below 20 euros.
mps photo studio
5/21 However, the backpack only makes sense for office trips and the best weather conditions. The Hump 2.0 is not for discerning tourists.
mps photo studio
6/21 Givi Gravel-T: As a knapsack with a fixed body, the Gravel-T is especially popular with organized packers thanks to its structured structure.
mps photo studio
7/21 Much storage space cannot be optimally used due to the lack of all-weather suitability.
mps photo studio
8/21 Thanks to its signal color and 3M reflectors, the hero especially pleases backpackers who always want to be visible.
mps photo studio
9/21 Even in bad weather conditions, sensitive goods can always be transported safely. As long as nothing is packed in the outer pockets, it works fine.
mps photo studio
10/21 IXS TP Backpack 20 1.0: The simple pack sack in “deluxe design” and not expensive at all.
mps photo studio
11/21 The Swiss motorcycle professionals score with an ergonomically correct carrier system and a neatly structured presentation.
mps photo studio
12/21 Modeka Drypack 22: How many rucksacks? At first glance, the Modeka Drypack looks like the rest of its kind.
mps photo studio
13/21 But considering the price, it lacks a few details that would make a decent pack sack a better one.
mps photo studio
14/21 Moto-Detail Drypack: We complain, but at a high level: An organizer compartment in the non-waterproof outer pocket makes little sense.
mps photo studio
15/21 Otherwise, the shipping solution from Louis is the best buy in the test.
mps photo studio
16/21 Ortlieb Atrack CR Urban: In terms of price, the S-Class for all backpackers. But the value is right.
mps photo studio
17/21 One of the few backpacks “made in Germany” that shines with top equipment and high-end ingredients such as the ultimate Tizip zipper.
mps photo studio
18/21 SW-Motech Triton: The motorcycle professionals not only know how to design storage space on bikes, but also for riders.
mps photo studio
19/21 The Triton impresses with its full seat and well thought-out details for office commuters and travelers. Clear test winner.
mps photo studio
20/21 Vaude Proof 28: The well-known standard bag with three special features: PVC-free and manufactured (like Ortlieb) in Germany, plus a highly sophisticated carrier system.
mps photo studio
21/21 The fact that the Vaude still only scratches its test victory is due to the fact that it lacks that certain “motorcycle extra” (see “Minus”).

Conclusion
There are many good, even very good rucksacks that can safely accommodate sensitive goods in all weather and speed conditions. And you don’t even have to dig deep into your pocket for that. There are very expensive backpacks, but motorcyclists in particular will find what they are looking for at affordable rates. At the top is a manufacturer that has been able to do it for a long time when it comes to motorcycle luggage: Well-deserved test victory for the Triton from SW-Motech. With the Detlev Louis own brand “Moto detail” the large clothing and accessories multinational proves that there can be both big and good bags for little money.
