We are really happy with our Giant loop tankbags, the Cactus bags and love the quality since years. So we decided to get us an Armadillo 5G bag for our trip to Morocco next month, where we want to ride the old Rally Dakar routes. Thank god I always test the equipment here at home before we use it in the field. Long story short, three of the four Gallons of Premium 95 from the brandnew Armadillo bag have flodded the trunk of my Jeep GC, running out of the lower end of the bag. From the outside the bag is immaculate.... I just started the warranty process with the dealer - this will most certainly bring me another, hopefully NOT leaking armadillo bag - but will not clean the car nor buy me 3G of fuell. :-(
The fender bag is outstanding, and the customer service I received from the representative, Justin, was top-notch. The only reason I did not give a five-star rating is that I originally ordered the newest version of the fender bag. After waiting several months without receiving it, I settled for the previous model instead. Again, the product and customer service are great. Still, in the future, it might be better to avoid advertising and selling products that aren't available, regardless of the reasons for the delay. Thank you!
convenient. effective/. i hope dependable( after all its a Giant Loop }
I’ve left AvGas in one and JetA in another for 3 months and zero leaks. I need 10 of these
Great product, like the fact when empty roll it up and it takes no room and very light.
Very handy size. Not so stupidly large that it dwarfs a dual sport tank. But still big enough to actually hold some stuff. Handy is a word that again comes to mind. Also love that it is available in grey. When you ride in the hot & sunny south, the last thing you need on your bike is a black gear bag. Unless you might be wanting to bake some biscuits.
Not sure yet, the bag looks well made and roughed. But I live in Maine and the dirt bike season has not started, usually the beginning of May
Awesome price and super fast delivery to Alaska. Wait for the 4’ of snow and -40F temps to go away so we can start riding!
Giant Loop builds awesome bags. The Coyote bag does everything a bag like this needs to do. All that being said, contrary to what the influencers imply, this bag is not for midsize to large ADV’s. It simply doesn’t fit on the bike as intended. It was designed for dirt bikes and is too narrow to properly fit ADV bikes. If you are buying for an ADV I would recommend the Great Basin and even then grab bars etc. may need to be removed. On another nitpicking note. If you fill the smaller dry bags to max capacity they will not push down into the legs of the coyote bag.
I’ve only used them once so far but they worked great.
They appear to be well constructed and were easy to secure to my machine while full. Refilling my machine was easy and they drain out completely.
These bags are seriously large. But can be sinched down for smaller loads. They get their volume from being longer but not wider compared to other brands. Because of their size I get pretty much everything I need for extend camping trips in the bags and then I don't need a large tail bag. This makes the bike easier to handle because the weight is lower and I can move around more. And the bike is easier to swing my leg over. They are plenty tough even though they weigh 10lbs less than a certain competitor. They have been on thousands of BDR and other off road miles with me. I also highly recommend the Giant Loop quick release mounts. I would have given 5 stars but I don't like having 3 straps over the top. Fortunately they solved that on the newest generation which features just two straps over the top.
It looks well designed and made. I have not used it yet. I expect to use it on an April ride. I like the ability to store it compactly until needed.
Unfortunatly it didn't last 2 rides. 2 gallons of petroleum based fluid. Gone when I went to use it. Blader leaked.
Love these saddle bags. 2k miles of offroad use. No signs of wearing and with the synch strap, keep cargo from shaking around. Perfect cargo space for day trips! Like them so much I bought my dad a set.
Worked great for attaching GL panniers to the BUMOT racks, specifically the exhaust side, on my 2024 HD Pan America. Using GL's Mototrek panniers, and the mounts with adaptor kit work just as well as the other side w/o the adaptor. Great fit and look. Fairly easy install. Definitely recommend.
