LOBOO BWB40BK 40 L vintage rear bag in canvas

The opening edge has magnets embedded in the fabric. Roll the edge back on itself, and the magnets snap together automatically, keeping the roll closed. This is a system that LOBOO patented as a utility model, number ZL 2019 2 1740293.1. It also works with gloves because there is nothing to insert or align.

The comparison is made by the manufacturer itself. The zipper is awkward to operate on a rolled opening, and over the years it becomes stiff and fails. Velcro, with its hook side, catches on and damages fabrics when you run your sleeve over it, and it loses grip with every cycle. Magnets have no parts that wear down through friction and do not snag clothing.

The manufacturer states that the fabric is waterproof and has a magnetic roll-top closure, but does not certify any IP rating, so we prefer to say that rather than assign one. In practice, the waxed canvas withstands rain during a commute, but it is not a TPU dry bag and should not be left outside in the rain for days. The manufacturer also states this in the care instructions.

The manufacturer specifies three conditions on which the validity of the warranty depends: avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain, prevent mold and oxidation caused by damp environments, and follow the instructions on the care label sewn onto the product. In practice: dry it after a storm, and don't leave it fitted on the motorcycle outdoors all winter.

The stated composition is 45% polyester, 40% polyethylene, and 15% polyurethane. The body is a custom-made waxed canvas in a polyester-cotton blend with a retro effect; flaps, reinforcements, and handles are made of leather-effect polyurethane, with oil-finished edges. Buckles and buttons are made of brass-colored alloy.

With LOBOO quick-release straps, in two methods documented by the manufacturer. In both methods, first attach the straps’ C points to the four anchors on the sides of the tail. In the first method, connect point A to the bag’s quick-release buckle; in the second, pass points A and B through the bag’s retaining straps. The manufacturer recommends keeping the attachment points away from the exhaust and securing any excess webbing so it does not get caught in the wheel or chain.

Two external pockets, one at the front and one at the back, with a flap and snap button. They are sized for a wallet, documents, keys, and phone—things you want to reach without unrolling the closure of the main compartment.

Forty liters in a 55 × 30 × 25 centimeter body, plus two external pockets for small items. In terms of scale, it is luggage for four or five days. The manufacturer does not state a maximum load: the practical limit is the one indicated in the motorcycle manual for the rear seat or luggage rack.

Yes, and that’s one of the reasons it’s designed that way. It has a detachable single shoulder strap and two PU handles: once you get off the motorcycle, it becomes a presentable travel bag that you can carry into a hotel without looking like technical gear.

The manufacturer states that the canvas is resistant to abrasion, scratches, insects, and aging. The distressed effect is intentional and part of the design: the bag is made with that faded appearance. The care conditions remain those indicated by the manufacturer and are also necessary to keep the warranty valid.

It’s a universal product, so technically it fits any motorcycle with four mounting points on the sides of the tail. The point, however, is aesthetic: it was designed for roadsters, scramblers, café racers, and classic bikes, where a black TPU technical bag clashes with the lines. It works just as well on a modern adventure bike, but the overall visual impact is different.

The manufacturer documents installation using its own quick-release straps, but the documentation does not specify whether they are included in the package. Write to us before ordering if you need them: we will check the actual package contents and, if they are missing, tell you which ones to get.

Same capacity, opposite philosophies. The BWB40T is made of IPX7-certified TPU with a waterproof zipper: it’s the choice if your bike lives outdoors and you ride through any weather. This one is made of waxed canvas with a patented magnetic closure: it protects against rain but requires care, and in return offers a look that TPU can’t give a scrambler or a classic. The real question isn’t which is better, but whether your bike sleeps under cover.
