Sometimes products are so good I really think the manufacture should get some positive recognition. I've been researching bags for ages after realising my tank's too small for panniers. I looked at the Giant Loop and Wolfman offerings, but went with the Enduristan for the price and so far I'm really glad I did. I'm in no way affiliated to Enduristan!

The 4H is a 7lt tankbag and claimed to be fully waterproof. It's designed for slim enduro style motorcycles. It's packed full of features and the level of thought that has gone into the bag is really evident as soon as you take it out of the box. I'll outline a few of the standout features below.

It has a Velcro divider in the main compartment of the tank bag, this is excellent to keep things in order and it can be easily folded away when not in use. It also has a detachable pocket that could store all manner or bits and bobs. Inside the bag there are two smaller zip pockets, one integrated into the divider and the other on the panel wall for loose change or whatever. You can also remove it and stow away the cable ties and attach it to a shoulder strap (sold separately) to carry you valuables in if you're leaving the bike.

I haven't had a change to mount it yet but it looks pretty straight forward and it has quick release so you don't have a headache every time you refuel. Given the streamline dimensions of the bag, the map pocket (which is also removable) is fairly large. There are also two entries for USB cables so you can recharge electronics stored inside the bag. Along both sides are two Velcro netted pockets which can also store small things in them.

I'll report back in a few months time and see how it shapes up after a few thousand miles around South America!

I brought one of these a few weeks back to replace my Wolfman Enduro tankbag that i took on my last trip, I have since lost the mounting harness for it and wanted to go with something with a waterproof outer rather than having to rely a inner drybag.

I haven't had a chance to try it out either but am quite impressed with the build quality so far, the side webbing is a nice feature, as is the covered holes for cables to run through.

I too will report back once I have properly tested it.

Definitely.

I think it will fit nicely on the Tornado too, where as panniers and many other tankbags do not because it has a very funny shaped tank and the plastic fins on the sides can't take any load.

3 Years later is better than never.


Mounted it on a CRF250L in the end for 18 months, it did the job and was good (properly waterproof) but on reflection far too big for the type of riding I was doing. When i was standing up my crotch was resting against it.

Hi Donuk,

What kind of tankbag do you now use, if you're not using the sandstorm? I'm looking for a tankbag that is small enough to stand over, but large enough to hold a dslr camera.. So the contents have to be 7 - 8 litres minimum.

Just an update on this bit of kit
My endruistan 3s is still going strong after 8 years and 5 of those was stuck under a bed in the Thai heat and humidity not being used.
The glue went on the Velcro for the maps case but it’s not an issue
It now sits proudly on my CB500x

Hi
How does it fasten on? Looked at other pics but can't seem to see how. Do you think it will fasten on the 23ltr Acerbis tank on my XT600E?

Thanks
Wayne

Well it sounds like nobody has actually fitted it to a bike yet...

Lonerider, I think it would fasten on most bikes, but I see that your tank is very narrow. I'm not sure if the forward strap would reach around your steering column - not without some problem solving anyway.

At the front of the bag there is a harness which would go around your steering column. These can be undone quickly with quick releases. To secure it at the back it comes with two female attachments hooked up to heavy duty zip ties.

These you attach to the frame somewhere between the tank and the pegs. You then use the male attachments which are on the end of stretchy "ROK" straps to secure it. I can post some pictures tomorrow if you'd like me to.

Thanks, yes if you can that would good

After non-stop usage pleased to say the bag is holding up very well. My only complaint is that the supplied zip-ties where too weak and snapped, so found some thicker ones and so far so good.

The clippers for easy on and of access are very useful for fueling and just the fact you can have it off in a couple of seconds is very useful for wild camping and taking the bag to and from hotel rooms.

The waterproofing works and is also dust proof which is good as I now store toiletries and other stuff I want to keep clean. Would definitely now recommend for any duel sport riders wanting a low profile tank bag.

Wayne that's some dry bag on the back there, hope that's not where you put the gf!
