Our Tank Pack offers a very exciting alternative to the typical "strapped" on "knapsack"
look of most others available. It not only looks super but also functions exceptionally well. It is more weather proof than most, attaches easily and securely, using quick release buckles, and unobtrusive 3/4 in. web straps, two fore and two aft. It rides on a 5/8-in. thick detachable foam pad that protects the tank, doesn't slip around and can be washed and wrung out to dry quickly if it should become soiled.
The map window is 8" x 12", large enough to display two sections of a standard road map, without extra folding. The window is made of optical grade, clear vinyl that won't yellow, cloud or become brittle with age.
Access into the pack is by one single straight zipper down the center, making zipping easy with one hand. There is a padded web handle at the rear for easy, comfortable, off the bike carrying.
The Tank Pack's tapered both toward the rear and top, suggesting the shape of a traditional gas tank. This shape is especially comfortable for sport riders, who crouch low to diminish wind resistance. The approximate dimensions are 11" x 15" at the base, 10" x 13" on the top and 4" to 8" high. This gives about 1,000 cu. in. of carrying capacity. The pack retains its' shape, even when empty, because the body and sides are made with 3/8" foam sheeting, sandwiched between an outer shell of Cordura and a nylon pack cloth lining. There are rigid plastic rods sewn into the hem to keep the sides apart.
If all this isn't enough, we include our Map Pack, which carries 16 standard road maps and hangs on a web strap in the front. The Map Pack can be used in any vehicle. This pack is for those of you who want function, without sacrificing aesthetics

Why Rev Pack?
Simple, this company is in touch with what works, and is bold enough to keep their product simple in design.
If you look around on the web you've seen dozens of bag manufacturers putting out 50+ products with the intent of "meeting your every need". They offer bags with endless amounts of pockets, options, and different designs to fit every conceivable bike setup. What ever happened to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) way of thinking?
Bags are like anything else. The more complex the bag, the higher likelihood that something won't work. We've fallen into this trap ourselves, and up until this point, we offered very few bags for sale inside our store, and on the web. It was very common for customers to make a purchase, only to call disappointed. They didn't like the way the bags functioned, or how they fit their bike. Exhaust issues were the number one complaint. The bags either came way to close, or simple failed to clear. No one wants to spend $200 on a bag set, only to fear, ever mile, that the exhaust is melting their bags and contents.
We feel that bags should be designed with three things in mind. To carry your stuff from point A to point B, be easy to attach to your bike, and stay clear of everything that you can't touch bare handed after 10 miles. Rev Pack has a very simple design, which is one of the main reasons we like it. There are few pockets, gear goes in and out easily, and the majority of their bags fit "Every" bike, regardless of what exhaust system you've installed.
