The Giant Loop Possibles Pouch has many uses, including carrying cargo such as a first aid kit, electronics, food, tire repair kit holder, and so on. It can be used as a tail bag or attached to other Giant Loop luggage. I use it to hold my road repair tool kit on the Ultimate Motorcycling Yamaha Ténéré 700 Project Bike.
If I always rode with panniers, then I could keep my road tools in them. However, I typically ride sans panniers when I am riding single-track trails and 4×4 routes, as I don’t want the weight and width of panniers hindering me. That is why I chose the Giant Loop Possibles Pouch ($50 MSRP) to hold my emergency repair tools.
The Possibles Pouch is made of fully waterproof, 500D PVC tarpaulin material. It measures 10.5-by-5.5-by-3.0 inches, and the roll-top closing bag holds 3.5 liters of cargo. For me, that is a complete set of tools within easy reach and out of the elements.
I initially mounted it on the engine guard using just its webbing straps and snap buckles. A few rides later, I added tire irons and a hand pump to the Possibles Pouch. I then added Giant Loop’s 25-inch Pronghorn Strap ($23/pair), securing it around the Possibles Pouch as a way to carry a utility tie-down. The unique design of the polyurethane stretch Pronghorn straps keeps the metal buckle away from painted surfaces and stays put when the bike is bouncing around off-road.
None of us want to break down on the road or trail, but it happens. I think I have pulled out my tools for others far more often than for myself. But for me, that is part of the riding experience. You have to be self-sufficient and self-assisting when riding in unpopulated areas, and that is why I carry what I consider to be an appropriate mix of tools, fully expanding the Giant Loop Possibles Pouch.
Some say I carry too many tools, but how many is too many if you actually use those tools to get yourself or someone else out of a jam? The Possibles Pouch has enough room, secures tightly, and is durable, so I go for it.
Although I have it installed on the Ultimate Motorcycling Yamaha Ténéré 700 Project Bike, the Giant Loop Possible Pouch, like most of the company’s soft bags, will fit a wide range of motorcycles.
