A large motorcycle backpack for committed users
The Vastour H2O is a large, versatile 26-litre motorcycle backpack, made for riders who carry a fair amount of luggage every day or on longer rides. With an extra-large, fully waterproof roll-top compartment and a well-organised interior, this motorcycle backpack is suitable for touring, travel and commuting.
Who is this motorcycle backpack for?
The Vastour H2O suits riders who use a large motorcycle backpack every day or on a regular basis and do not want to compromise on storage space.
- Long touring rides with plenty of luggage
- Riders who carry a large motorcycle backpack every day
- Trips where a laptop and valuable belongings need to come along
Waterproof main storage
The main compartment of the Vastour H2O is an 18-litre, fully waterproof Hydratex roll-top compartment that keeps your valuables dry. It also contains a waterproof laptop sleeve for laptops up to 16 inches. This forms the foundation of this motorcycle backpack.
Extra storage, not waterproof
Alongside the waterproof main storage, the Vastour H2O offers an additional 8 litres of non-waterproof storage space. The motorcycle backpack is also prepared for a hydration bladder of up to 3 litres.
Carrying comfort all round
Wherever the Vastour H2O touches your back, padded 3D mesh provides air circulation, so you are not distracted by a clammy feeling while riding. Extra cushioning material also absorbs the weight of heavier loads. The complete harness is height-adjustable, allowing you to position the motorcycle backpack exactly where it feels best. A magnetic FidLock buckle with elastic straps closes across your chest, while an adjustable waist belt with extra lateral support distributes weight towards your lower back.
Importantly, while the capacity can certainly become substantial, it does not always need to. The adjustable straps – two on each side – allow you to keep the Vastour H2O comparatively slim and compact when needed.
Waterproofing, realistically framed
The Vastour H2O is not a fully waterproof motorcycle backpack, but it does have a robust waterproof main compartment. The 18-litre roll-top compartment and laptop sleeve are fully waterproof. The additional 8 litres of storage are not, so it is best not to store moisture-sensitive belongings there.
Dimensions and storage capacity
The Vastour H2O offers a total storage capacity of 26 litres.
The opinion of our RAD specialist
The Vastour H2O is clearly made for riders who need plenty of luggage capacity and do not want to divide it between several bags. Or who are simply used to carrying their gear on their back.
Compared with more compact motorcycle backpacks in the range, this is clearly a larger model. Still, the option to reduce its available space by tightening the straps is certainly a positive. It gives you options to use the Vastour H2O the way you want.
At its core, however, the Vastour H2O remains a large motorcycle backpack. If you use it to carry two croissants and an apple, you are really doing both yourself and the backpack a disservice. In every way, this is made and built to carry more. At 26 litres, it rivals — or even exceeds — plenty of other luggage solutions.
Its carrying system, with extensive adjustment options and a focus on comfort, makes it possible to take a lot with you in a way that remains safe, manageable and pleasant. Anyone looking for a large, comfortable motorcycle backpack with a substantial waterproof compartment will find the Vastour H2O to be a strong, mature choice.
