Motorcycle camping demands gear that can survive weather, dirt, friction, vibration, and the rough realities of life on the road. After thousands of miles of riding, testing, and refining, we found one material that beats everything else:

👉 Waxed Canvas.

It’s the backbone of both The Nomad Motorcycle Camping Sleeping Bag Cover and the 2Wheels Tool Bag, and there’s a reason riders around the world swear by it.

Here’s why.

---

🌧️ 1. Waterproof — Naturally

Waxed canvas has been used for centuries by sailors, explorers, and militaries because of one thing:

It repels water without needing plastic coatings.

Unlike synthetic waterproof fabrics that crack or delaminate over time, waxed canvas stays waterproof through:

Rain
Dew
Mud
Snow
Condensation

When water hits it, it beads and rolls off — just what you need when your bedroll is strapped to a bike at 100 km/h through unpredictable weather.

🔥 2. Durable Enough for the Road Life

Motorcycle gear must withstand:

Wind pressure

UV exposure

Vibration

Sand and dust

Abrasion from straps and luggage racks

Waxed canvas doesn’t just survive this — it thrives.

It actually becomes stronger, softer, and more flexible the more you use it. Synthetic bags wear out. Waxed canvas breaks in.

This is why The Nomad is built with premium, heavyweight waxed canvas — tough enough for real-life overlanding and ADV riding.

😤 3. Breathable — No More Trapped Moisture

One of the biggest problems with nylon bivy bags and synthetic covers is condensation.
You wake up damp, sticky, or cold because your fabric didn’t breathe.

Waxed canvas fixes that.

✔ It lets moisture escape
✔ It prevents condensation buildup
✔ It keeps your sleeping gear dry from the inside and the outside

This is a major reason why The Nomad bedroll feels warm, comfortable, and dry during 3-season camping.

🌲 4. Eco-Friendly & Plastic-Free

Modern “waterproof” fabrics often rely on:

PU coatings

Plastic films

Laminated membranes

These crack, peel, and create microplastics.

Waxed canvas?
It’s cotton + wax.
That’s it.

✔ Sustainable
✔ Age-friendly
✔ Long lifespan
✔ Biodegradable fibers

Your gear lasts longer AND has a smaller environmental footprint.

🧰 5. Perfect for Tools — Why It Powers the 2Wheels Tool Bag

Tools are sharp. They’re heavy. They shift.
They need a material that won’t rip the moment a wrench pushes against the seam.

Waxed canvas is ideal because it’s:

Tear-resistant

Tough against sharp edges

Flexible yet strong

Easy to roll, carry, and strap to a bike

Naturally water-resistant (keeps tools dry!)

Whether you’re carrying wrenches for on-road fixes or knives for camp use, waxed canvas protects your essentials better than lightweight synthetics.

✨ 6. It Ages Like Leather — Looks Better With Every Ride

Every crease.
Every scratch.
Every mile.

Waxed canvas develops a unique patina, just like leather.
It becomes your bag — shaped by your journeys.

No two Nomads look the same after a season on the road.

🏍️ 7. Trusted by Bikers, Overlanders & Bushcrafters Worldwide

Waxed canvas is a favorite in:

Bushcrafting

Expedition gear

Military field kits

Overlanding rigs

Outdoor survival equipment

Why?
Because it works.
Simple as that.

When you’re far from home and the weather turns, you want gear you can trust.
