Title: NEW Concours 14 Saddle Bag Cooler Group Buy
Post by: Big Bike Outfitters on December 26, 2012, 06:44:13 PM
Big Bike Outfitters Inc. has designed a Saddle Bag Cooler that is an exact fit for the front 33% of the Concours 14 Saddle Bag / Panniers.

Ideal for touring, camping, law enforcement riders and everyday commutes.

Carries 10 12 oz. beverage cans and 2 freezer gel packs, yet only takes up only one-third of the saddlebag interior leaving ample space for other gear

Heavy duty three-ply construction.

600 denier polyester outer shell has a 3 mil PVC backing that helps trap cool air from escaping

High efficiency mid ply Mylar insulation reflects heat away from cooler contents. Mylar was developed for NASA to insulate spacesuits.

Energy Shield aluminum polyester fabric liner keeps contents cooler longer than non-metallic liners. Energy Shield was developed for use in the aerospace industry as a lightweight, highly efficient insulation to protect sensitive electronics from exposure to low temperatures at high altitudes   

Clamshell design makes packing and cleaning easy.

No ice melt leakage, designed to be used with 2 re-useable freezer gel packs, keeps cool longer without water sloshing around in saddlebag. (Freezer gel packs sold separately, available locally at national retailers). Can also be used with zip lock freezer bags filled with ice.

Cooler retains shape when empty.

Manufactured by Big Bike Outfitters Inc., Made in America by a Veteran Owned Company

Not a fan of the can either........ but on a hot day, long ride, and that can is icy cold thanks to BBO C14 cooler bags..... I'll manage. But if the can is really a downer for ya, throw some red solo cups in a packing cube and pretend you got it from the keg.

Just threw my hat into the ring :)  I think the coolers are sold as a single unit... similar to the packing cubes (1 unit being 3 pieces)??

I don't think that is the case. I think 1 unit Is 1 piece (1 cooler).

Thanks to all who participated! As previously stated all orders will ship no later than January 16, most likely sooner. You will each get an email with a tracking number once your package ships. Please contact me with any further questions or comments. And once again thank you!

That is correct, the cooler is sold as a unit of 1, whereas the packing cubes are sold and priced as a set of 3.

Package came last week. Really nice. I got the cooler and a set of 3 bags. Thank you for the group buy. They are very high quality and work exactly as expected. They will certainly make packing easier. :)

Quickie review...

I have had my first trip with the bags... sorry... I have not had a chance to use the cooler yet.. It's still rather cold in Nor.Cal. 

I ordered the cooler, a set of liners and an organizer set.   All of the pieces look well made. 

The bags are rather spartan (fine by me), in that there are few pockets and such.  I had fit issues with the bags packed and the saddle bags closing... Now.. If I wiggled them in right they closed no problem; leading me to believe that either/both: I packed wider than I should have (they are soft luggage going into a rigid space), or there was a seam/strip or something that got stuck in my hinges.  Somehow I think this would be a problem with all systems such as this.  the Conie's hard-bags have a funny lip that makes it easy to catch things in. 

The organizer is a set of 3 shapes that, together, fill a saddlebag.  2 of these and the cooler work as well; such as,  drinks on ice, sandwich and sides nicely wrapped and in their own compartments...   I haven't tried them yet either, but they seem to fit well and are a great idea.

So far, I am totally stoked with the buy I got.

Thank you for letting us test ride them!!
