As the boundaries of our riders are pushed ever further, so too are the demands on each Malle design. The technical demands increase, forced by harsher weather conditions, harder terrain and greater distances. Each Malle design needs to match the endurance level of the riders and the motorcycles we are creating for.
Introducing ‘The Malle Expedition Collection’, hand made with our new waterproof coated canvas, waterproof zips, waterproof membranes, military spec. webbing, custom MALLE G Clips AND robust bridle leathers. Each Malle piece is hand made, refined, utilitarian and timeless. Each piece in the collection is much lighter, tougher, water-proof, dirt-proof, abrasion resistant and made to go further than ever before.
In the research and development phase of each new design in the Malle Expedition Collection, the testing simply came down to time and distance. So we tested all new designs in each Malle Rally across Britain, across the Alps Mountain Range and then 5500 miles from London to Nordkapp at the top of the Arctic and back again.
Because these designs were developed on motorcycle expeditions, it means they have to be lightweight, water-proof, dirt-resistant and exceptionally durable. Which makes each design perfect for daily travel and global adventures alike. Keeping your essentials dry, protected and organised in a timeless and utilitarian British design, on or off of the motorcycle.
If it survived an expedition up to the Arctic. And back. On a motorcycle.
It can survive almost anything.

Care info
Malle luggage, accessories and apparel are built to last. Our durable natural fabrics, heavy duty stitching, waterproof membranes, impact protection, solid welded-brass hardware and bridle leather will age extremely well, developing a unique patina and bare the wear and tear of an adventurous life.
WAXED CANVAS
Darker colour natural waxed cotton fabrics can fade if left in direct sun light for very long periods of time, this is a part of the ageing process and is something to be cherished. The natural wax in the cotton canvas protects the fabrics from dirt, water and sunlight, so please make sure your Malle is kept in good condition, for a longer and happier life.
LEATHER
To help you keep your bag in perfect condition – please look after the leather. To maintain waterproofing and a soft feel and bright look, use a high quality leather conditioner, we recommend NikWax and natural beeswax leather conditioners.
SILK
The high quality 14mm natural silk we use for Malle riding scarves etc. should be washed by hand, occasionally.
MERINO WOOL, ALPACA AND NATURAL COTTONS
Merino Wool is a real super-fabric for adventure. The shape of the thread has a ‘crimp’ that traps air in pockets in the fibre, creating greater insulation against the elements, which also makes it supremely soft and comfortable. Merino Wool is great for regulating body temperature, because of its breathability. It is also moisture wicking and can absorb 30% of its weight in moisture, drawing perspiration away from the skin, whilst still maintaining it’s ability to insulate. Better yet, it naturally resists bacteria and prevents odor retention. It’s an easy fabric to wash and look after and holds it’s shape really well. Pease see the care instructions on each garment, as a general guide all Merino Wool garments should be washed cold by hand and dried flat.
