Turkana Duffalo™ 25 Litre Duffel Bag (Grey)

WE REDESIGNED THE ADVENTURE WIDE-MOUTH DUFFEL TO BE A STRONGER, MORE VERSATILE, AND DURABLE MOTORCYCLE COMPANION.

Wide mouth duffel, check!

There is no doubt that having a wide-mouth bag makes it user-friendly. It is easy to get to your stuff and simple to pack and unpack without chucking out everything to get to Teddy (who is always hiding at the bottom).

A wide mouth allows for big items to be packed.

The rolltop closure ensures the bag is 100% dustproof and waterproof with an IP67 rating that withstands quick submersions in water, good for any adventure motorcycle expeditions.

Outer layer, check!

The outer layer is made from strong fabrics, namely Rhinocote™ and 1680 Tuffstuff™ which can take a lot of abuse and has a high tear, shaving and abrasion resistance. Round the world motorbike riders understand the need for strong tough materials.

With this fabric as the first level of protection, it allowed us to add usable tie-down points which are not always found on PVC/TPU duffel bags. To add more redundancy, we also padded the bottom layer for more protection, to prevent shaving and abrasion from damaging the inside layer and to be kind to the motorcycle paintwork and bodywork.

Water and dustproof inner liner, check!

The second layer consists of an inner liner that fits inside the Duffalo™ and secures the opening rim of the duffel with hook & loop (that stuff that makes the tearing sounds).

The inside is a light colour to allow you to see the contents easier. The liner is removable so the moto adventure duffel bag can be used with or without the liner. Water might still gather between the liner and the outer bag, but it will not penetrate the inner liner. If the worst should happen and the inner liner does get damaged. it can simply be replaced without the need to replace the entire bag.

The video below is about the 40l version but there’s a lot of general info about these bags in the video:

Additional inner padded bottom layer, check!

Sandwiched between the outer layer skin and inner waterproof/dustproof dry bag is a padded protective layer. This protective layer is designed to offer additional protection against vibration and shaving. Riding rough enduro-type offroad tracks or teeth-rattling backcountry dirt roads, vibration and shaving in many cases will cause holes in any fabric. The layer adds additional padded protection. This minimises holes, protects content and valuables and should a hole appear, the soft luggage motorcycle duffel bag can still be used as intended.

Field repairable, check!

When your bike takes a dirt nap on a tiny dirt road (on your way to climbing Mount Jebel Toubkal in the Moroccan Atlas mountains), the Duffalo™ motorbike duffel bag is field repairable.

All our Turkana gear motorcycle soft luggage products can be repaired with basic sewing kits or dental floss and a multi-tool. Buckles and webbing are standard sizes across the world and easy to find and replace.

Additional attachment for pockets, check!

It is important that the bag can be configured for different trips or adventures. What better system to use than what Chuck Norris uses? Yes, M.O.L.L.E. is perfect for this application! Now, it is possible to add and use our other pockets to add more storage space to the duffel. In addition, any pouch with the M.O.L.L.E. system can be used. Configure the bag to exactly suit your needs on the trip ahead. With these webbing loops, virtually anything can be tied to it.

M.O.L.L.E

We incorporated the M.O.L.L.E. system on our motorcycle soft luggage bags, which allows for better tie-down options and customizable and usable features. This design of the outer bag allows riders to configure their luggage options to suit their riding style with the option to add different attachments such as pouches, small tent bags and bottle holders etc. to the Duffalo.

We decided to get rid of the shoulder strap (that one never uses!) and created an adjustable carry handle, doubling as shoulder straps when the need arises to use the duffel as a backpack.

Multipurpose use

Use your Duffalo™ for more than just motorbike riding. This utility travel bag can just as much be used for going to the gym, storing your 4×4 accessories or even as a rugged business travel bag. When packed correctly, this duffel will protect your cameras, notebooks, phones and important documents. You can also take it horse-riding.

Being waterproof, it is even an ideal companion for watersports such as canoeing, kayaking, yachting, rafting, surfing, parasailing, sailing, windsurfing – use it also to keep wet clothes and gear from getting other stuff wet.

The Duffalo™ fits the Turkana philosophy, in which we tried to find a balance between great quality and yet good value for money. The bag is affordable, and all components of the bag can be easily mended as slip-ups can happen.

This is a great add-on to your kit and makes you adventure-ready for that next big trip!
