New Monsoon EVO waterproof saddlebags from Enduristan

Enduristan rolls out its new saddlebags, which it calls the Enduristan Monsoon EVO Saddlebag System. Enduristan says the bags are “…the toughest 100% waterproof luggage in the world.”

The new saddlebags use three-layer fabric sections that feature welded seams and are abrasion resistant. In the event of a spill, the bags have additional edge protection to help protect the bag.

Weight Moonsoon EVO

Another claimed advantage is that Monsoon EVO bags are much lighter than other competing brands. = For example, Enduristan says a Monsoon EVO pannier weighs about 6 pounds, while other brands weigh 11 pounds, including the required mounting plates and shims.

Monsoon EVO saddlebags are available in two different sizes; 24 and 34 liter capacities. The 24-liter bags weigh 5.62 pounds, while the 34-liter size tips the scales at 6.06 pounds. If you need more storage, you can add two Fender bags, XS base packs or 2 can/bottle cases to the outside of the saddlebag.

Thanks to the development of a new mounting bracket, Monsoon EVO bags do not require a plate or wedge to attach to your rack. Enduristan claims that its mounting system fits almost any saddlebag frame with 18mm tubing. Additionally, you can add locks to the “security holes” of the mounting bracket to make the saddlebags more resistant to theft.

The system mounting brackets are made of fiber reinforced composite material. Enduristan says they have similar properties to aluminum.

Enduristan saddlebags are sold individually in both sizes. This means you can order both a 24 and 34 liter saddle bag to accommodate the exhaust system of some bikes. The 24-liter pannier sells for $419.99, while the 34-liter will set you back $449.99.
