The brand-new redesigned Turkana Duffalo™ duffelbag looks like a classic Duffel bag, but there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye with this multitasker tough waterproof and dustproof motorbike soft luggage duffel.

Bikers can be a rough bunch and most of the time, be quite hard on their gear. We created an extreme adventure dual sport motorcycle duffle tail bag and yet remain stuck to our KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) philosophy.

Turkana Duffalo™ Duffel Bag

We had to rethink the classic duffel. Our experience over the years with the "old-style" duffel had to undergo an update to be more durable, tough, and usable for motorcycle touring and other dual-sport adventure use.

The Turkana Duffalo™ duffel bag features a universal style with a wide mouth design, accommodating most motorcycles, 4x4s, and kayaks for travel. It features vital characteristics that enhance usability.

 Turkana Duffalo Duffel Bag

We redesigned the adventure wide-mouth duffel to be a stronger, more versatile, and more durable motorcycle companion.

Wide-mouth duffel check!

Without a doubt, a wide-mouth bag is incredibly user-friendly! You can effortlessly pack and unpack without throwing out everything to get to Teddy (who is always hiding at the bottom). The wide opening is ideal for carrying large things, such as a circus tent garage.

The light-coloured removable waterproof liner and our colour-coded pack cubes make it simple to find what you're looking for, and packing is a breeze!

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 expedition.

Tough as nails outer layer, check!

The outer layer is made from strong Rhinocote™ fabric, which can take a lot of abuse and has high tear, chafing, 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 chafing 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 a waterproof 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.

Carry Straps: Doubles as Backpack and Shoulder Straps, Check!

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

The additional inner padded bottom layer, check!

Sandwiched between the outer layer of skin and the inner waterproof/dustproof dry bag is a padded protective layer. This protective layer is designed to offer additional protection against vibration and chafing.

Riding rough enduro-type offroad tracks or teeth-rattling backcountry dirt roads, vibration and chafing in many cases will cause holes in any fabric.

The triple layer minimises holes and 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 you have a yard sale 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 multitool. Buckles and webbing are standard sizes across the world and easy to find and replace.

The future

With the dual-layer design, the choices of fabrics and designs are unlimited—watch this space for future limited edition series' with different colours and designs. Personalisation is important to people, as not everyone wants a black bag, so these options allow for a broader range of colours and attachment options for us to increase the range.

The fun part is spotting a luggage piece that is unique but still as hardcore and tough as those trips we all aspire to.

The ultimate multi-tasker! Not just for motorcycles.

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 horseback riding.

Being waterproof, it is even an ideal companion for watersports such as canoeing, kayaking, yachting, rafting, surfing, parasailing, sailing, and 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!
