Motorcycle Luggage: Oxford Handysack Helmet Backpack
Five or six years ago, my dear friend from Wales brought Kenny and I each a nifty little motorcycle luggage bag. It’s called the Oxford Handysack. It looks like a pretty standard foldaway nylon bag, but the front pocket offers a really useful option. It opens out into a pocket that accommodates a full face helmet.
So how is it?
Me likey! It isn’t the fanciest bag in the world but it’s cheap, small and does a great job of giving you one less thing to carry and keeping your hands free. When you get to where you’re going, zip it up into itself and you’re done. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Details:
- Zips into itself, folding up into an approximately 6in. x 6in. square.
- Made of 600D polyester
- Zip out helmet pocket!
- Big enough to accommodate a sleeping bag in the main compartment
- Fits easily into airplane overhead bin when full
- Has backpack straps
Oh, I like that a lot. Took a little Googling; but I found someone who carries them in the US!
Wendy – can you post the link if you still have it? I used this bag on our recent trip and it worked out GREAT for transporting a helmet and carry on stuff on the airplane!
Wendy,
Where did you find them stateside??
Ooh ooh! Thank you. I love these little fold-away bags, use them in my panniers. Motorcycle World sells them for an exhorbantant $22.10 with $10 shipping, we need an American importer!
