You are the most organized person i know. Your gear is always perfect, but your garage is on another level.

[larrylulay]

Holy smokes - great job, so thorough. Glad I happened to find you by looking up details on my tank bag. Can't wait to start digging deep into your other videos as well!

[TheScatman]

Great video. Great audio and video quality and you got straight to the point. Thank you for taking the time. Ride safe.

Perfect! Because of you Mason, I want to get the rear bags and was just looking 2 days ago at the Nomad and saw the Nomax. This vid was perfect timing :^) cheers from Montana!

Nice! I like that you guys recycle and up-fit each other when you get new gear. Too many videos these days are concentrated on getting new and not necessarily better gear just for the sake of getting the gear. Outfitting the guys you ride with makes everyone’s ride better and allows longer tests of the equipment. Be good to see at the end of next season how the tank bag is holding up. For the average user it’s a testament that real riders can honestly say this bags is still good three years and two riders into its life! Long term testing isn’t done enough these days as everyone upgrades way before the equipments real life span is over. We all need to recycle as much as possible whenever possible. (Understanding of course that you do need to upgrade to review new equipment as well) as I said good on you and good on your buddies for not playing the one up game and using the good used equipment!

I was wondering how you kept hydrated and you answered it at the end. Until I purchased a Camel back I used to struggled to keep hydrated, now I understand how frequent sips of water mean I ride better for longer and enjoy the ride even more!

Brilliant video. I bought one right away after seeing it on another channel, and then your video popped up. I've always bought cheap luggage, but I'm really impressed with this tank bag. And your channel is excellent. Subbed of course right away.

You can tell a company does their design research by how well thought out the little things are. Like the various pouches the little Swiss army like tool. This is why this bag is a great investment. Thanks for highlighting all this Mason.

I recently bought a Nomax bag for my Tiger Rally Pro, just prior to a 2800 mile trip. What a difference compared the the large ‘junk drawer’ style bag on my touring bike. After a few days, you remember exactly where everything is stored, and then whatever you need is quickly available. What a great design by Mosko. The only issue I had was installing the ‘dog collar’ on the Tiger. Got it done, but it’s a little unorthodox. I actually rode by Mosko on my trip, and Jen took some pics of how I had to set mine up, so who knows, maybe Mosko will come up with a better solution. Curious how Shooter Tech managed it on his Tiger. Great review as always!

I Nomax bag just came the other day so I haven’t had a chance to use it yet but it is a very nice bag. Very beefy and heavy. I’m just concerned that it’s over-built for my needs but nobody else makes a convertible tank bag-backpack. It would be nice to see them make a "light" version of this with may be only a single main large compartment with organization. Maybe even have hook and loop panels and sell different pouches and organizers that you could configure based on your needs. I'd also love to see a waterproof version or at least a highly water resistant version with waterproof zippers so you don’t need to break out the waterproof cover in a rainstorm. That just seems like a giant pain in the butt. Anyway, thanks for the very detailed and informative video. Cheers!

I have the Nomad bag. The quality is definitely there and it will probably still be functional long after the world ends. I like the organization of the bag and the molle and it is definitely a step ahead of most bags that are one large compartment and maybe a couple smaller ones. However, there are a couple things that I would like to see in any future generation. And I am not sure the Nomax has fixed them. For large ADV bikes like the GSA with the eight plus gallon tank a slightly larger bag would be nice. Maybe an inch or so longer, wider and taller. Also, the compartments limit the use of carrying a SLR camera like the EOS. There just isn't the space for that size camera for those that like to keep the camera close and easy to use. I don't use the water bladder. There are too many other choices even backpacks available made by Mosko Moto that are easier to use the bladder. I like the idea of being able to drink on the ride without stopping but the bladder is just too close to a tank that can and often does get warm during a ride. The bladder as part of the tank bag is cleaver but it is just not for me. It is easier to carry a bottle of water somewhere else. Other than that the quality of the bag is likely unsurpassed in any other tank bag made by any other manufacturer. I give it five stars.

I just started watching your channel and am very impressed with your organization. You’ve obviously done this a long time. I don’t mean to offend but I’m surprised your still on a KLR. Great bikes to ride anywhere in the world due to parts availability but so many other middleweights have surpassed it in performance it seems.

[winterbreed]

Great vid! Didnt find that memory card holder anywhere! Looked super neat!

[pinkiewerewolf]

100th like! 😎
I love these gear videos.

[stevebrinkert]

☕️ Good morning, Mosko Moto definitely makes quality stuff. Like I have said many times before you have one of the best setups for ADV riding! 👍

[ScramblerTales]

Thank you for the video. Cant be better explained. I get the tank bag now, especially as they have it in green now.🏁

[redhawk_adventures]

Great video. I'm looking at getting the Nomax soon and it's good to see what they are focused on when updating the bag. Mosko really puts some thought behind their products.

[coachp]

Thanks for sharing as always Mason ! Great review. Will consider one fir future. Also, gives me ideas of what and how to store for now. “Rolaids for S-Tech” .. too funny. “Ear plugs (seldom used)” .. wear ‘em Mason. We need yiu to keep your hearing so we can enjoy these vids when you’re still making them in 20 yrs time. ;) 👍🏽👍🏽

So much more going on with those bags compared to my Nelson Rigg in terms of features and the ability to have a specific spot for stowed items. I am looking at getting some vehicle wrap material to make a decal/scuff guard for my tank because the grit that kicks up while trail riding that gets between the tank and bag are scratching my tank pretty bad. Did the Nomad scratch or is the material against the tank such that this doesn't happen? Thanks for the videos.

[kevindunne]

Is it possible for this to be used and mounted as a tail bag?
