I like this style of review. Lets you see what you can actually fit, how it works in practical use, and how it appears on this particular bike. They really lets me feel like I'm trying them without buying first, which is what review video should be all about.

First of all, excellent hat choice! Really adds to the video in my opinion. :) But in all truthfulness, I liked the format. Nice to see the product in use, and being tested while you’re giving a review of them. I think it’s more interesting and enlightening than just seeing them in the driveway. Impressed with all the gear you got in them. Camp chair, table, stove, dishes and coffee?! Holy smokes those have a lot of room in them. I wouldn’t have guessed all that fit in them when I first saw them.

Like you go camping for a weekend so you'd step through gear selection explaining why (offering alternatives to the gear as well?) , and then see it in action just like this video. Cheers!

Hi, I am just deciding on what kind of soft luggage I want to buy for my dual sport bike. I am torn between getting saddlebags like the Tusk Excursopn + a luggage roll on top OR some kind of horseshoe luggage like giant loop. What are the benefits of the horseshoe design in comparison to saddlebags + luggage roll on top? I thought that saddlebags are more convenient for the days I don´t need the luggage roll on top, because a horseshoe design will probably flop around when half empty. Any thoughts on this?

I want these for my DRZ. For someone that's packing light, but doing a multi-day trip, like the WABDR, would these bags be sufficiently sized? I'm hesitant to buy a rack style system because the rack system would get in the way for riding when I'm just doing day rides, which is how I ride my DRZ 97.17836% of the time. The whole "moto-camping" thing is something I want to try next year on the WABDR, hence the reason for my question.
