As Touratech enters its 30^th year of outfitting motorcyclists for adventure riding, it is launching a new line of soft luggage. The new product range, named Touratech Extreme Waterproof, includes a saddle bag set, tank bag, tail bag, pannier top bag, dry bag, and a small accessory dry bag. 

All of the products are crafted from the same 3-layer laminate which Touratech says is engineered to meet the demands of adventure riding and perform reliably for the long haul. Here’s how it works:

1. Wear Protection – The outer layer is made from a rubberized polymer that creates a UV-resistant and waterproof barrier that also provides grip to keep the bag from moving around on the bike. This heavy-duty polymer with welded seams also provides abrasion resistance for long-term wear protection.
2. Tear Protection – The middle layer consists of densely-woven, 1000-denier nylon that is bonded to the outer layer for strength and resistance to tearing.
3. Water Protection – The bright yellow vinyl interior with heat-welded seams makes an additional waterproof layer that is easy to rinse out or wipe clean. The bright interior makes it easy to see items inside the bag.
