The Giant Loop Coyote offers a much more than the original Giant Loop pack JC reviewed during his OMA KTM Dual-Sport Ride.
After a tremendous introduction to riders in sixteen countries and every continent but Antarctica, the original Giant Loop Saddlebag is ready to step aside. The Coyote Saddlebag improves the original Giant Loop break-through design in three key ways:

1. Scoff at wet riding conditions with a waterproof trucker's tarp outer Bomb Shell material and waterproof zipper.

2.
Access gear conveniently with a large zipper with double pulls - and stuff sacks for both sides and the top included organizing packing.

3.
And strap the Coyote Saddlebag on/off the motorcycle in seconds with no hardware, drilling or tools required.

With a 30-liter capacity and slim, trim profile, the Coyote Saddlebag is now the best choice in the Giant Loop gear line for hard-core off- road expeditions on dirt bike, dualsport and adventure touring model motorcycles. For supermoto and motard style bikes, the Coyote Saddlebag is the clean, streamlined saddlebag to pack rain gear and other essentials for the city. Straps on. Stays on. No matter what.

Riders can travel lighter and faster with Giant Loop, the only saddle bag system that combines two motorcycle panniers and a tail bag into a single biomorphic shape, requiring no sub-frame modifications, racks or braces.

They are different products. You're right, the original review was fairly so-so, but that model is no longer in production. The Coyote is the upgraded version and it addresses many of the issues we complained about.

I thought it didn't look very good after this review less than a month ago. What gives?
