Administrators Eric Hall Posted January 29, 2018 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 So Wolfman is out with yet another new edition of their Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags. They are $524.99 and I did get mine free to try from Wolfman. Wolfman is not a paid sponsor of XLADV. I've been thoroughly satisfied with my last set and will gladly sell them to you (for the right price of course!). These new ones seem to be both a bit larger as well as a bit more flexible with packing size as well as fit on the bike. There's also more d-rings which make attaching things like a Rolie bag easier. I'm eager to try them out on our Copper Canyon trip coming up next week. Details from their site: Completely New and Improved for 2018! The 2018 Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags have undergone a major transformation. A revised “U” shape helps carry and compress the load. Now 10% larger, these are the largest, most comprehensive saddle bags we have ever produced, the result of years of R&D testing and refinement with a World Class R&D team. A secure mounting and compression system keeps these in place on virtually any side rack using the included Universal Saddlebag Straps, while still allowing quick release from the side racks. Internal stiffeners, held in sleeves, secure the load making them become almost rigid and firm, not floppy. Flexi-Side Panels allow both smaller and larger loads to be compressed securely. And we've added a grab handle on each bag. Packing and unpacking is made easier due to a subtle tapered shape -- the top is slightly wider than the bottom. The included waterproof liners roll and buckle closed, slide in and out easily and make it simple to keep gear dry. The liners are made from durable polyurethane-coated nylon with sealed seams to keep water out, and are yellow, making it easier to see items inside. Total capacity is a voluminous 36+ liters for each bag. These bags are sewn in Wolfman's USA facility utilizing our own custom vinyl-coated 1680 denier ballistics nylon fabric. The bags have 22oz. vinyl sides, and one piece back to front overlay. Reflective striping runs horizontally from front to back. D-rings on the top and front of each bag allow easy attachment of a Small, Medium Rolie or a 303 Small Rolie as a top bag for even more capacity or just for convenience. Or add a Wolf Bottle Holster for fuel or water. For 2018 we made the following improvements to these already great saddlebags: U-shaped side profile uses a single piece High Density Polyethylene Plastic (HDPE) Stiffener Flexi-Side Panels allow a much wider range of capacity, plus improve load compression and create a more stable and secure connection to the side racks The single piece internal stiffeners are now in sleeves 2” top compression buckles provide better load management and stability Four 2” D-rings on each bag for more accessory options, like a Rolie Bag or Wolf Bottle Holster Ability to carry a Wolf Bottle Holster or Small 303 Rolie on the back Revised shape to keep bags level to side racks Revised removable waterproof liners More tailored appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
