Green Chile Adventure Gear (GCAG) is a start-up company out of New Mexico that’s committed to making heavy duty, lightweight, and innovative adventure gear for motorcycles. I recently had the opportunity to test their new soft rack system and believe me when I say that no corners were cut when designing the Uprising Luggage System.

The nylon webbing and cam buckles used to construct this rack are so heavy duty that it’s almost overkill for this application, and ensures this rack will hold up for years to come. I recently came across an online video where a rider hung his KLR650 from a tree using the soft rack system! And by the way, in the event of a defect, GCAG provides a lifetime warranty on their products.

Installation of the Uprising Soft Rack was a breeze and can easily be done in minutes. The cam buckles lock down tight on the straps, ensuring the system stays tight after it’s mounted. And flaps under the buckles make sure they do not cut into your seat or scratch the bike’s finish.

The Uprising Luggage System comes with such a variety of straps and tension loops that the possibilities for securing gear are endless. No matter how many combinations of gear or bags you may try there always seems to be a way to secure it all down snug. GCAG provides a gallery on their website showing some of the endless variations and luggage configurations on most manufacturers’ bikes.
