Every other tail bag is invisible at night. This one isn't. Insanely reflective panels on every side. Easily zips on and off. Aerodynamic race-hump shape with no wind drag.

    • Be seen and ride safer. Insanely reflective panels on the front, back, and sides. Light up under any headlight, even at the back of a black bike at night.
    • Zip the bag off in one motion. Most tail bags need straps and buckles undone every time you arrive. This one zips off the base in seconds. Leave the base on the bike, take the bag with you.
    • Aerodynamic race-hump shape. Designed to sit clean on the rear seat with no wind drag or noise at speed.
    • Universal fit. One-time install. Base sits on the seat, straps wrap underneath, cinch down. No fiddling before and after every ride.
    • Holds the stuff you carry on a day ride. Wallet, keys, phone, a folded layer, gloves, a sandwich. Elastic loops inside keep it all from sliding around.
    • Rain cover tucked inside. Pull it out when the weather turns. Water resistant on its own for light showers.
    • Easy to use with gloves on. Large zipper pulls and a carry handle for when you've zipped the bag off and walked away with it.

    Will it fit? Almost certainly yes. We've tested it on hundreds of bikes and it fit almost every one. The exception is bikes with no rear seat or no space behind the seat. It's also backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if it doesn't fit, send it back for a full refund :)

A tail bag without compromise.

We refused cheap zips, fabric that fades, weak glued seams, and wobbly mounts.

Drivers don't miss this bag.

Drivers don't miss this bag.

Most drivers in motorcycle accidents say the same thing. "Sorry mate, I didn't see you." Cops and riders call it SMIDSY.

Reflective panels on every side of this bag bounce headlights straight back as bright white. Be seen, ride safer.

Stop wrestling buckles every time you stop.

Most tail bags make you fight clips, straps and buckles every single time you arrive. This one doesn't.

First-time install Once. Then never again.

At night, drivers see light. Not motorcycles.

At night, drivers see light. Not motorcycles.

The car behind you is closing fast. The driver is half-watching the road. Your tail light is just one red light. To his brain, that could be a car very far away, or a car with a busted bulb a long way back. He doesn't know what you are. By the time he figures it out, it's too late.

The reflective panel on the back of the bag isn't a tail light. It catches his headlight and bounces the beam straight back as bright white. He brakes long before he reaches you. You ride home.

Ra > 500 cd/lux/m² retroreflective rating. Around 50% above the EN ISO 20471 minimum for high-visibility safety gear.
Sore shoulders. Bulging pockets. There's a better way.

Sore shoulders. Bulging pockets. There's a better way.

Backpacks tug on your shoulders the whole ride. Your neck stiffens. Your shoulders ache. By the time you arrive, you're already sore before the day starts. Pockets are no better. The stuff you cram in there bulges against your thighs at every turn and digs in when you lean.

The bag carries what shouldn't be on your back or in your pockets. 6 liters of drop-it-in space. Elastic loops keep things from sliding when you brake. Glove-friendly zippers. A bright internal lining so you can find what you need at a gas station at night.

Wallet, chargers, camera gear, snacks, sunglasses, water bottle. Carries it all.

What riders say about our reflective gear

The Glowrider Tail Bag is new. These reviews are from riders who own our other Glowrider reflective gear. Same reflective fabric, same company behind it. Tail bag reviews will show here once they start coming in.

From Chris. Founder, MotoLoot.

"Riders die because drivers don't see us. Most drivers in motorcycle crashes tell the police the same thing: 'I didn't see him.' Most of those crashes happen at low light. That's the entire reason I created the Glowrider Reflective product line.

Every other tail bag is a black box that's a pain to take on and off every ride. So I built one that's convenient, aerodynamic, and most importantly, hard for drivers to miss."

From Chris. Founder, MotoLoot.

Common questions

Why is it better than other tail bags?
  1. It helps you survive by making drivers notice you. Unlike other tail bags, ours features insanely reflective panels on every side. If you Google "motorcycle tail bag" you'll notice that others are mostly black. This makes them hard for drivers to see during the day and almost impossible at night.
  2. Install once, then on and off in 3 seconds. Most other tail bags make you undo clips, straps and buckles every time you arrive. This one has a removable base that lives on your rear seat permanently. The bag zips onto the base in 3 seconds and zips off just as fast.
  3. It's aerodynamic. Most other tail bags are tall and square. This one has a low aerodynamic shape that doesn't catch wind or buffet at highway speed. Elastic loops hold the strap ends so nothing flaps.
  4. Designed for riders. Genuine YKK zippers with large pulls you can grab with gloves on. 600 denier nylon body. Reinforced webbing straps. A carry handle for when you've taken the bag off the bike.
  5. It fits almost any bike. The universal base straps under any rear seat that comes off. Tested on hundreds of bikes across sport, cruiser, naked, ADV, and touring.
How much can it hold?

6 liters. Here's what fits comfortably:

  • Wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses
  • Water bottle, snacks
  • Camera gear (action cam, charger, power bank)
  • Tools, chain lube

Elastic loops inside keep loose items from sliding when you brake.

What are the bag's dimensions?

6L volume. The bag tapers from front to back, so the dimensions are approximate.

10.2" long, 9.3" wide at the front, 5.1" wide at the back.

26cm x 23.5cm x 13cm.

Does it glow?

This bag is extremely reflective, but does not emit light itself.

Is it hard or soft shell?

Somewhere in between. It's not a hard shell, but it holds its shape better than normal floppy tail bags.

Will it scratch my paint or seat?

No. The base sits on top of your rear seat and the straps run under the seat frame, not against painted bodywork. The contact surface is soft fabric. We've had it on hundreds of test bikes with no paint or vinyl damage reported.

Is it waterproof?

The bag itself is water resistant. The reflective panels are waterproof, the YKK zippers shed water, and the seams hold up to light showers and quick rain bursts. Your gear stays dry.

A packable rain cover is also included and tucks inside the bag. The rain cover is completely waterproof, so it covers you for heavier rain or longer wet rides.

Will it fit my bike?

Almost certainly yes. The base straps to your rear seat and works on any bike with a seat or seat-shaped surface behind the rider. Tested on hundreds of bikes across sport, cruiser, naked, ADV, and touring. The exception is bikes with no rear seat (a handful of pure race bikes, some custom builds with a full luggage rack already mounted). If it doesn't fit yours, send it back for a full refund.

Will it stay on at highway speed?

Yes. The base straps cinch tight under your seat frame, and the bag zips onto the base via a continuous YKK zipper around the bottom edge. The aerodynamic shape means no wind tugging or strap flapping at sustained highway speed.
