BMW Atacama Adventure Luggage System - Duffel

BMW's new Atacama Adventure Luggage System brings a totally new luggage concept to the Adventure rider community. Intended primarily for use in off-road riding, the Atacama System provides more flexibility when piloting expert level back-country trails, and off the bike too, for instance, when continuing on foot to a remote camping spot. This duffel rides on the same proven carrier frame system as the original BMW aluminum cases, and gives GS riders another choice of luggage system to suit their preferred riding needs, while maintaining exceptional durability and functionality without compromising BMW design integrity.

The Atacama Duffel/Top Case shown here is intended to accompany the matching Side Pannier set (sold separately) but can be used on its own too. While the complete Atacama Luggage System is designed fit BMW R1200/R1250GS and F650/700/800GS models because the side panniers mount specifically to the luggage frames of those bikes, the Duffel will, in fact, mount to almost any motorcycle with a sturdy luggage rack of sufficient size with secure strap attachment locations.

ADVANTAGES of the Atacama Adventure Luggage

• Bag Compression – Soft bags need to have the ability to compress to the load that is packed in them to maintain maximum efficiency when riding loaded. The roll top, vertical and horizontal compression straps on these bags allow for compression at all axis. 4 side compression straps, 1 bottom compression strap, and 1 large top compression strap, plus a roll-top closure, for superior compression/expansion capabilities.
• 100% Waterproof Main Compartments – 22oz vinyl inner liners are radio frequency seam welded for maximum efficiency and 100% waterproof.

Duffel FEATURES and DESIGN
• The Atacama Duffel consists of two separate bags:
1. A sewn seam outer bag made from highly abrasion resistant material
2. A welded-seam 100% waterproof inner bag made from 22oz vinyl enables reliable waterproofing even after multiple bike drops or off-road slides. The outer bag is designed to absorb the abrasion and impact leaving the inner waterproof bag intact.
• Dual overlapping beaver tails feature a unique through-strap mounting system, making it an ideal spot to tuck items throughout the day without having to get inside the bag. For example, a place to store a wet rainfly if it rains while you’re camping. The overlapping beaver tails feature a zippered mesh pocket on one side, a removable clear map pocket on the other, and they’re a convenient storage spot for your cinch-strap tails as well.
• Double-ended roll top for easy access throughout the day without having to unstrap the duffel from the bike. With traditional top-opening duffels you have to undo the connection straps in order to open the bag.
• Quick-stash backpack straps, an internal frame, and a padded back panel for easy carrying when the duffel is off the bike. Put the duffel on your back, carry a pannier in each hand, and transport all your luggage at once. The duffel also works great as a carry-on or checked luggage, perfect for fly-to-ride trips. There's a central briefcase handle and a carry handle at each end of the bag.
• Large top pocket accommodates a 2L hydration bladder and has a hydra-port for the hose. There's an internal mesh pocket that’s useful for wallet, phone, etc.
• External tent pole pocket enables you to pack your tent poles separate from the main body of the tent, making field packing easier.
• With side compression straps, two roll tops, and a double overlapping beaver tail, the duffel can be expanded and compressed significantly to accommodate different load volumes.

MATERIALS
• Top panel made from 22oz vinyl material for easy washing, excellent abrasion resistance, and extra water resistance.
• Overlapping beaver tails made from 1680D Ballistic Nylon for extreme abrasion/impact resistance.
• 4 T6061 aluminum corner D-rings and a front daisy-chain for quick attachment of straps and accessories.
