Oxford Products 30-litre Heritage Roll Bag

The Heritage series of luggage is made from a blend of old and new techniques, which are designed to keep a vintage look while offering the modern-day user an experience to match today’s expectations.

The bag’s key material is a dry wax application, which is applied to all outer materials including the straps. The pockets are pleated in order to lie flat when empty, but provide space to expand when full; flag stitches secure all the straps and strapping points are features around the main structure of the bag.

The roll-top closure is both traditional and the best way to seal the bag against rain. Also inside the bag is a removable waterproof liner, which uses taped seams to guarantee that the contents remain dry, even when the outer material has been drenched.

Stu’s view

During the road tests I was able to secure the bag to the tiny portion of the sprint rack, which I have available behind my slope-back seat. To strap the bag securely to the rack I used the under-seat security strap and three (out of the four provided) fitting straps, which I weaved in and out of the rack into the bag’s four strapping points. (How you strap the bag to your scooter will be unique to the style of carrier you have, but the bag has ample strapping points to be securely fastened to most types of carriers.)

In terms of usability and practicality, the item makes for an excellent rally bag. It will fit securely to your scooter and will hold plenty of provisions. Also when removed, and with the shoulder strap attached, it turns into a useful day bag.
