Right now I have a bag that I can fit all my gear in except my helmet but its just an old duffle bag with broken zippers. Finally considering an actual gear bag. Don’t want to spend a ton (Sub $150). What do you guys use and recommend? I’m highly considering the Acerbis X-Trip because I can get it at a discount for $100. And reviews on that bag in particular?
The Shop
I've had two 9800s, my original one from probably 2005 or so is still going strong except I had to replace the wheels (easy) and its now used more as a luggage bag for trips. Got the updated version about 4 years ago and for moto they have no comparison IMO.
Oh hey, I found one: https://www.speedgear.com/product/Troy-Lee-Designs-SE-Gear-Bag?utm_sour…

I have even checked it out of the country (loaded with regular stuff, not moto gear), and it still held up fine.

Pro's
-Separate compartment for boots
- I can fit all my gear including knee braces, neck brace, google case 2 sets of gear and chest pro
- Wheels and extension handle for easy transport
-Fits my size 12 boots
-biggest gear bag I have ever owned
Con's
-Loading must be done in a specific order. Boots first to get everything to fit
-Cable zipper loops don't last long. None of the regular zipper tabs have broken
- After 5 years of use a handle the front grab handle is starting to tear.
-Venting would be nice but you can just unzip it.
Im able to fit my boots, chest protector, tool pack, all my gear into it. In the past I shoe horned my helmet in there too but it was just too tight.
The biggest negative with the Ogio 9800 is definitely the main zipper. its weak, its fragile, and it doesnt last.
Plenty of space, cheap, use lid to stand on when changing, and gear stays dry in the rain.
The other day is started raining on the way to camp at the track. I had to pull over and take my gear back out of the back of my truck and try and fit it in the cab.
