Turkana HippoHips™ Hybrid Saddlebags 30L

NB: BAGS SOLD SEPARATELY DUE TO CUSTOMER REQUESTS

Turkana's roll-top HippoHips™ are the only true hybrid adventure soft luggage saddlebags able to be fitted as classic “over the seat“ mount or as a quick-fit & release plate mount. (Both mounting systems sold separately).

These roll-top 100% waterproof and dustproof motorbike soft luggage panniers are favoured by serious riding pioneers, long distance riders, dual sport enduro moto-adventure guys and girls that have been around the block and know what gear is essential.

The new design and stronger, tougher upgraded fabric ensures the HippoHips™ soft panniers handle bugger ups, scrapes and drops from adventure enduro-type travel.

Disclaimer:  Products might vary in colour, material and construction from time to time.

Removable waterproof/dustproof inner bags.

Each saddlebag includes a roll-top removable inner liner bag, allowing you to conveniently leave the pannier bags on the bike and only take the inner bags to your tent or hotel room.

Impact Protection all round

The HippoHips™ offers additional impact protection all around. The front is padded and double-layered to protect gear.

For additional protection, there is a Hdpe/high-density polyethylene impact protection plate. The plate is inserted at the back on the inside of the panniers to ensure it remains flush and close to the frames. Drops, spills, muddy and rocky rutted goat tracks, deep water crossing, tree branches the combination of the wear and tear fabrics, and protection plate will be able to protect your gear. 

The outer layer is made from durable fabrics, namely Rhinocote™. The fabrics offer a high tear, wear and abrasion resistance and can take enormous abuse associated with adventure type travel. The outer shell is water-resistant with double stitched seams which makes this luggage perfect for gritty offroad use and last for many years.

Field Repairable

Field repairable saddlebags mean that most damages should be repairable by anybody with a sewing needle in most places around the world. No need for welding or special tools is required as the case may be to fix hard panniers.

We know the HippoHips™ might be dragged to hell and back and that riders may have to make repairs now and then, as accidents are part of enduro-adventure riding. So, you do not have to throw your bags away due to cuts or tears. Just replace or repair what is needed.

WHY SOFT LUGGAGE?

The beauty of it lies in the simplicity of its design. It is one of the many reasons why so many seasoned experienced overlanders, adventure travellers and hardcore adv-enduro riders choose a lightweight design as preferred motorcycle luggage over aluminium panniers.

The lightweight total weights are kind to motorcycle subframes and pannier racks. Many riders still prefer and love this age old keep it simple stupid philosophy for soft motorbike baggage.

Weight on a motorcycle will always be a ball-and-chain and we believe having lightweight gear is the key for when riding off-road, enduro and adventure motorcycles. Lightweight can still be bulletproof and HippoHips™ is a testament to that.
