The waterproof material is an advantage
You should definitely make sure to buy a waterproof motorcycle backpack. A normal backpack can quickly get wet in a rain shower, and moisture penetrates inside through the seams. If the backpack is then laid out with a truck tarpaulin, your things are immediately wet.
A special waterproof motorcycle backpack such as an Alpinestars motorcycle backpack is made of nylon or polyester. Some models come with a reinforced plastic cover, which is stowed in an additional compartment and can be pulled over the backpack in a few simple steps in the rain. Thus, the water drains, and the contents remain dry.
You can also opt for a motorcycle backpack with a waterproof hard shell. An additional PU coating on the outside also makes the backpack dirt-repellent.
With decreasing weight, comfort increases
In a motorcycle backpack comparison, the size and weight of the empty backpack are often mentioned as decisive purchase factors. Because not only do you have to carry heavier if the backpack weighs a lot. The weight also influences your driving behavior and thus your safety. This applies to a motorcycle backpack for women or men.
A deadweight of no more than one kilogram as with a KTM motorcycle backpack is ideal here. A large motorcycle backpack that weighs several pounds shifts the center of gravity when riding and can be uncomfortable.
