Riding a motorcycle is better than riding a car in virtually every circumstance. That being said, there is one major drawback to riding a motorcycle; the lack of trunk space. Choosing the right bag can be key for lugging around the essentials. For those of us who commute daily on a motorcycle, having the right bag can make the difference between a getting to point B with all your stuff in tact or getting there with a water-soaked laptop… Today we take a closer look at the Alpinestars Tech Aero Backpack.
First things first, not all bags are created equal. If you’re shopping for a bag that will be used primarily on a motorcycle, it will serve you well to get a bag designed for motorcyclists. Sure, there are plenty of other standard backpacks that will work but there are subtle “moto-friendly” features that will be lacking in the latter.
While shopping for the right backpack, we came across California-based company Motorcycle House. They have a large range of motorcycle specific backpacks, were quick to respond to our questions and provided fast shipping.

There’s an internal sleeve for the Alpinstars Bionic Back Protector (sold separately). We’ve yet to try the back protector out ourselves, but that’s coming next.
