Biltwell Inc. - The EXFIL - 7 Riding Bag

Every time I go out for a ride on my bike I usually wear a backpack.I’m not a big fan of saddlebags, and sometimes you just need to take shit with you. Biltwells new EXFIL- 7 bag is the perfect bag to replace that backpack, its small, lightweight, removable, and has room for seven beers. The “seven” in the name comes from the amount of beer it can hold.

 Overview: EXFIL is military parlance for "exfiltrate," which means, "Get the hell out of there as fast and organized as possible." EXFIL-7 is the first component in our rugged, function-forward line of collapsible transport and storage gear for action-oriented motorcycle enthusiasts. Unlike model-specific luggage for adventure bikes or the wild west-themed satchels popular with retro chopperheads, the Biltwell EXFIL-7 combines modern materials and construction with military-tested retention and expansion technology to create luggage that works even tougher than it looks. The "7" in this bag's name refers to the number of 12-oz. beer cans that can be stored and transported in its padded main compartment. Other Biltwell EXFIL bags will utilize this naming convention to help riders calculate the volume of equipment every bag will carry.

 Construction: Coated weather-resistant nylon packcloth exterior with heavy-duty polyester thread at all joints and seams. One-inch-wide nylon modified MOLLE system on perimeter panels and back for strap placement, custom tie-down locations and multi-purpose mounting. One main and two pocket compartments with YKK nylon zippers. Cast alloy zipper pulls with polyester knotted rope extenders for easy operation with gloves. Double-thick exterior walls and lid construction with internal padding for protection and durability. Antique brass drain grommets on floor panel for moisture evacuation. 1.25-inch-wide sinch straps with heavy-duty nylon quick-release buckles help secure load after packing to reduce movement and rattling. Mil-spec orange interior panels on main and secondary compartments for enhanced materiel search and recovery inside the bag. 

Here it is mounted on my '07 Dyna Superglide. Check it out here.
