Turkana Gear Hybrid HippoHips™ Saddlebags
With their innovative hybrid design, this versatile luggage system can be used in two different ways, making it perfect for all types of travel.
Firstly, they can be used as classic universal "over-the-seat" saddlebags that fit most motorcycles with pannier racks. By using the HippoHips™ together with the Classic Strap Set, they can be easily placed over the seat and secured to the luggage frame. In this mode, the bags are designed to stay on the motorcycle for the duration of the trip. After a long day of riding over gravel or in the rain, saddlebags often get very dirty. Once you arrive at your destination, you can simply remove the waterproof inner bags and take them into your tent or hotel room.
Secondly, the Hybrid HippoHips can also be used as a plate-mounted version in combination with the Turkana glass-fiber reinforced Nylon 6 mounting plates. This gives you a quick-release function without sacrificing the benefits of the classic setup. The system remains lightweight, and the inner bags can still be easily removed if the outer bags are dirty. If you need to park your motorcycle in an insecure location overnight or maneuver it through a narrow doorway, the bags can be removed quickly. Furthermore, they can also be used as a single bag – ideal for filtering through city traffic or for daily commuting and short excursions.
Designed for rough terrain and extreme conditions, the Turkana Gear Hybrid HippoHips feature a number of key characteristics:
Highlights
- Robust construction: High-quality materials and reinforced seams ensure maximum durability – even under extreme conditions.
- Modular system: The HippoHips are MOLLE-compatible. Both sides feature PALS webbing, allowing you to attach Turkana BushBabies, OxPackers, or other compatible MOLLE products.
- Waterproof and dustproof: Reliably protects your gear from moisture, dust, and dirt.
- Field-repairable: Small damages can be repaired in the field with needle and thread. Additionally, Turkana products are backed by a lifetime warranty as well as the "Oh Buggar!" guarantee.
So, if you are looking for a versatile, durable, and practical luggage solution that adapts flexibly to your travel requirements, the Turkana Gear Hybrid HippoHips are the perfect choice.
Note: Turkana products may occasionally vary slightly in color, material, or construction.
