Waterproof Motorcycle Backpack - (Glowrider) Reflective

This bag's quality and capacity are more than I could've ever expected!! Can't wait for it to cool off a bit in AZ to use it more!

I’ve had this backpack since November 2025. It’s something I’ve used countless times when I need some (or lots of) storage on the go. I picked this one for its waterproof capability since I live in Florida. I don’t typically ride in rain but when I have it has kept everything inside dry. The reflective features are amazing, I love that the front straps are reflective a bit too. I really appreciate the fact it has the two buckles on the front with the bottom one being adjustable and it has clips to keep the straps from flapping everywhere when you pick up speed. The inside has a sleeve for lap top or iPad, which is awesome. And it has a few other nice pockets and even a water bottle spot with an adjustable tightening strap. This bag can store a lot more than I thought. There was a trip I took to the store and bought more than I thought I needed and I can’t believe how much I fit in there. It was needlessly heavy but it did the job! Oh and lastly it has a really nice padding on the back for comfort. I will definitely shop for more items here in the future. I may even get the smaller reflective backpack.

This backpack has been the best investment so far. I waited to do my review until I rode through a downpour- it handled it no problem! I’m also very happy with how much space is in the bag. I ordered the back protector as well and it takes up no room. If you are on the fence about this backpack- I say pull the trigger! You will be pleased with how waterproof it is and how much it can hold. I’ve gotten several compliments already!

I absolutely love the backpack so much, I also use it for hiking and cycling. I do not leave the house without it :-).
I am a slim woman and it fits really snug, no pressure on the boobs.
My bike jacket has a build in back protector and that has no affect on the backpack, it carries wonderful and I do hardly feel it at all even with all my clothes, water bottle and laptop in it.
The bag has so much space, I compared it with the handbag of Hermione (Harry Potter reference), it must have an undetectable extension charm :-).

I’ve just received this as an early Christmas gift (to myself)! I commute to work mostly by motorcycle, so rain gear is a necessity. Everything transferred from my old daily backpack with some room to spare, so that’s a good thing! As of today, I have not had to ride with it in the rain, so I’m looking forward to my first rainy commute, especially at night. The main reason I purchased this backpack was because how well it reflects the light. High visibility is a must, when riding. Especially, during a downpour!

I love this bag it’s so big and it holds all my things perfectly, my laptop, shoes, and my lunch. I haven’t taking it out in the rain but I can tell by the construction of the backpack that it is waterproof. I also love how reflective it is. Thank you motoloot and thank you Chris for inventing it.

This backpack has more than enough room to take what I need for a 16hr day. I ride to work 3-5x per week and having a bag that was too small to carry everything I needed was starting to become a pain in my ass. I'm glad I transitioned over to this bag. Plus the extra reflective outer strips helps other drivers see me better now. Especially during my early morning commute when it's still dark out.

Chris!

Dude!! Solid backpack! Great design, plenty of cargo space, tough exterior and a soft interior for all your goods! This thing survived a wreck and protected me in the accident. Quality build and construction. No leaks after the wreck, either!! Please keep the great products coming 🙏 I am a forever customer.

I love the design. Plenty of space for large items and just enough areas to coordinate smaller items.

Kick ass!!! Good feel, good material, lots of space and good pockets layout. Recommend it .

Awesome bag! I can carry everything I need in it and more without feeling heavy somehow. I’ll probably be purchasing a second one in the future just because I like it so much. It being waterproof is a huge bonus and brings another sense of security along with the reflecties! Thank you motoloot, been spreading the word about yall. Great company with great products!

I like it i really do, i carry it daily it's just some things I'd improve personally

This bag is awesome. One of the best bits of bike kit I've seen in a while. The reflective strips are great for riding in craggy UK weather and low visibility, the clasps are secure, straps comfy, and big - all my work kit fits snug and arrives at destination dry (again, UK weather tested). Only downside is the price and subsequent UK Customs Tax. Beware any orders that exceed £135 (including postage costs) - you'll get walloped with an extra 30%+ charge on top.

I didn't have super high expectations, but this thing is great! It really cuts through the wind and the geometry of the buckle really saves your back. The fidlock style chest clasp works great. The volume the backpack can hold is great, and the best part, of course, is the bah is hi-viz and waterproof. On the interstate, cars would regularly hang back multiple car lengths behind me before the sun rose on my commute.

Seems a solidly made backpack, waterproof within reason, highly almost blindingly reflective, magnetic latch is very cool, I may know more after it gets used in "anger"

What sets this backpack apart from the less expensive model is not only the waterproofing, but also the harness. Though magnetic, it locks up securely, and it delivers a huge step up in comfort. I have literally forgotten I had it on.
The inside is air tight and rolling the enclosure and trapping air in it works as advertised. Basically, all claims are true. I'm usually not a backpack guy, but this one changed all of that, and now my son who also rides is getting one for Christmas after admiring the one I bought for me.

I wanted to change my 4 star to 5. I've had the pack a few months now, and it's gone through some serious Florida showers---those are the ones where I get soaked through my jacket, my shoes express water when I get off the bike, and I'm pretty sure that somehow the top of my head gets wet under the helmet.
But everything in my bag stays dry, especially my work 17in lappie that was snug inside the layered pocket. There's a number of small spaces in the pack for isolated storage, but I'll tell you that I have carried my gym clothes, work clothes, computer, tablet, lunch, and some drinks (it was a long day), and all of it fits comfortably. The pack even came with a belt to settle weight on your hips, if you're gonna go hiking. I never use it, because the magnetic clip holds it perfectly and my desk jockey job doesn't need extra.
Stitching has held up, the pack is tough, and it holds a ton comfortably. Now, if I could just change my PREVIOUS 4 star, instead of creating an average 4.5 star, everything would be great.
Buy the backpack, no regrets.

Exactly as expected and well lit for high visibility!

Got it a few days ago, and I haven't hit hot weather yet. Would get 5 stars, but it really needs an outside pocket or two, plus a side open for that computer slipcase.
But what it does RIGHT: It's big, is reasonably well organized inside, and has a few loops to be able to hang things off of on the outside. Seams look good and the fit is very comfortable, with a lot of adjustment being possible. (I'm 5'9", 175lbs, reasonably good shape, for comparison). it's got a LOT of open space inside. Easy weekend pack--I'll be using mine for commuting, but get caught in storms sometimes.
All in all, I've spent more to get less value. If you need a backpack that looks like it can take all the weather, this is a way to go. If I haven't updated this, it means it's worth it.

Had to give another review after finally getting to use it, just have to say how did i live without it
It's well made and room enough for all my gear
