GOLDWIN's Crossover Rear Bag 35 has been redesigned with a new icon. This two-way item can be easily loaded on a carrier or pillion seat using the included X-belt, and can also be carried on the back, but the biggest feature is the robustness of the box shape. The box shape is designed to withstand the load of a motorcycle, so it will not easily lose its shape regardless of the amount of luggage, making it easy to pack long or large items.
For a well-traveled camper, 35L is about right.
In order to test the usability of the Crossover Rear Bag 35, I loaded it up with camping gear. The 35L capacity is quite minimalistic for camping. If you want to store everything except food, you'll need to choose a compact tent or use a seating style without chairs.
Trying to fit all my camping gear into 35L!
Choosing supplies mainly for a compact tent. From the top right: (1) table, (2) sandals, (3) picnic sheet, (4) sleeping bag, (5) air mat, (6) change of clothes, (7) water bottle, (8) lantern, (9) seasonings, (10) chair, (11) iron pan, (12) burner, (13) cauldron and cooking utensils, (14) pegs, (15) tent, (16) tent poles, (17) map.
Even so, as you can see, I was able to fit all my items from a sleeping bag to a table. You may feel that the capacity is a little small, but as you get used to traveling with less and less luggage, you may find that this 35L is just right.
Even though it has a capacity of 35L, it weighs about 10kg when packed to this level, so it is important to have a bag as sturdy as the Crossover Rear Bag 35 to carry such a heavy load.
The ease of use as a touring bag shines through!
It has a place to store items that you will need on the road, such as maps and rain covers, and a structure that allows you to access the main cargo area from the top and sides while loaded. The attention to detail has been well thought out.
It can be loaded on a carrier as a rear bag, or used as a backpack for walking off the motorcycle.
Comes with a fluorescent yellow rain cover for high visibility and safety in rainy weather. It is thin and not bulky even when not in use.
There's also a sibling model that's perfect for around-town use.GWM X-OVER Rear Bag 24L
