How long does it take my ordered bags to reach me?
Free shipping is via road transport and takes anywhere between 2 to 10 days to reach most destinations within India. Express overnight shipping, if opted for, costs extra – at actuals and takes between 24 to 48 hrs in most cases to reach most destinations within India. We ship worldwide and timelines for these range between 3 to 7 days to reach most parts of the world. Clearance from local customs and statutory bodies might consume extra time.
How can I protect my Dirtsack bags from exhaust heat?
Some bags might not be compatible with your motorcycle. Bags that are rectangular in shape do not normally fit bikes with upswept exhaust pipes. A clearance of at least 2 inches ought to be maintained between exhaust pipes and bag bottoms.
Also check out the Dirtsack Heat Shield, listed under accessories on our site. We use it on all our bikes, ranging from the Himalayan to the KTM 390 ADVs and also the Triumph Tiger. The heat shield provides a physical barrier between the hot exhaust pipe and the bottom of the bag but direct physical contact is still to be avoided at all costs.

I banged up my Dirtsack bags in a crash! What do I do?
Don’t worry, this happens from time to time. While our bags are built tough and can withstand a lot of abuse, they are not indestructible and could cave in under certain circumstances.

We may, however, post-assessment, tell you that the product is a write-off and cannot be repaired. Under these painful circumstances, we have, on several occasions, offered very friendly discounts on replacement products! It’s not the norm and not a promise but hey, we’re riders and will do something to cheer you up!

How do I clean/care for my Dirtsack?
Have a look at the care instructions on our site. Only hand wash soiled luggage in warm water and mild detergent. Do not dry clean the bags. Never ever! Petroleum-based cleaning solutions, used in dry cleaning, wreak havoc on nylon/polyester fabrics.
Lightly soiled or dusty bags need only vigorous dusting, complete drying if damp or wet and then storage in a dry place.
How long will my Dirtsack bags last?
Dirtsack bags are known to last for a very long time. All you need to do is look after them - post rides. Follow the care instructions on our site and the basic guidelines for weight and volume. Travel light, do not over-stuff bags, and be gentle with zippers and pullers – keep them clean and well-oiled.
We still service a few bags each year from our first lot of production pieces from a decade back!

Are Dirtsack bags air travel friendly?
Yes! In almost all cases. The Max modular series is well within cabin baggage allowances. The bags convert to backpacks and allow riders to breeze through airports. Some of our larger bags can easily be checked in.
How do I pack my Dirtsack?
Sensibly! You’re on a motorcycle and not in an SUV, so pack light! Carry only as much clothing as you’ll need, wash and reuse. Carry essentials like a tool kit and first aid kit, and don’t forget that waterproof windbreaker.
Begin to gather all your essentials well in advance and pack at least a day prior! Distribute loads evenly on both sides – if using saddle bags. Stash heavier and bulkier goods near the bottom of the bags and lighter stuff on top. Remember to fold drybag roll tops at least thrice if you want them to keep out the rain.
What are the clearance products on the Dirtsack website?
From time to time we gather products from across our store that we have not listed on account of several reasons – minor stains and ornamental defects, stitches that don’t run so straight, slightly crooked brand prints etc. These defects are essentially ornamental and superficial and do not affect the life of the product, its utility or its performance in any manner. Most importantly – they are covered by the same best-in-class warranty as all our standard products! So if a few stains or a superficial defect does not bother you much and a hefty discount looks very attractive, just go for it! We’ve got your back.
I placed an order but I could not receive the product at my address, what do I do?
