“AMAZING!”

Hands down one of the best company's supplying gear to aussie motorcycle riders. Great quality, great products, great price, fast delivery time with low delivery costs, you are constantly informed on the status of your order. You even get a gorgeous personal message from the owner. I have bought several products from packs to maintenance supplies to decals to apparel! Not once have i been let down. I cannot wait to see what the future hold for this amazing company. 10/10 recommend

I'm still waiting for my delivery, it says it's on it's way and I've been tracking them, apparently they are in the area but they're just sitting there. I understand that this is out of your control and I'm just letting you know.
The online shopping experience was perfect.

My backpack came in record time, which is thrilling because I love wearing it! The fact I can get a back protector in it means one less bit of armour I need in my jacket in the hot Summer! The design, fabric & functional aspects have all been well thought out... and I love seeing such a strong feminine design! I can't wait to see what else Flying Solo brings out! Xxx

Arrived quickly, professionally created and the little bravery note was a sweet touch. Would definitely buy again, but was disappointed to find out stickers on helmets can be seen as mods and you can be fined :(

Every email and contact Ive had with this company has been a 5 star experience.

The products are well made and above the asking price IMO.

The quality of the product and the service is excellent. They warrant an extra star to separate themselves from the companies you thought were 5 stars.

FSGC make sure you are happy from the get go.
They maintain excellent communication and even use handwritten notes for a very personalised touch. If only all retailers care about customer satisfaction to the same high standard.
The quality of their gear is 100%.

Looks great, super durable with extremely clever and intelligent design. The ashvault is am amazing backpack that fits everything and keeps it dry and safe without being bulky or ugly.

You can tell a lot of love has gone into the design, and it makes a huge difference compared to other back packs (no comparison!).

Full points - Thankyou for designing a great product.

Received my sliders almost immediately (interstate, that was awesome). Even got a cute little card dedicated to my first purchase through Flying Solo, with a hand drawn rabbit on it! I love the personalisation, the consistency and the high level of customer service. I would absolutely buy through FSGC again. And again.

Amanda is a dedicated die hard motorcycle enthusiast! She puts her heart and soul into bringing us the very best products with rigorous testing and road use. She would not sell you a product that she wasn't 100% happy with. You can be assured that it's a first rate product.
I have purchased 3 products off her website and am always happy with my purchases. Amanda is great to deal with and always replies to your email. Plus I love supporting an Australian owned company and their products!

Amanda has done a great job to test and create this backpack with a lot of attention to detail... very much appreciated. This will be a gift for my husband and he will definitely be excited to take it out on a ride right away! Amanda also attends to your emails and requests quickly and kindly
Thank you so much!

I ordered a Be Brave T-Shirt online and the service I received was incredible. It arrived so quickly and with a handwritten note of thanks and encouragement as well. The shirt itself is so soft to touch, very happy customer here, thanks.

I have always had a great experience regarding customer service and gotten exactly what was promised from this company and the products. I've purchased a couple of the killswitch packs for myself and friends and even taken mine riding and hiking around the world in all weather conditions and terrains from Nepal, Southeast Asia and Australia and I just purchased two of the new back packs! I'm excited to see what comes out next!

After using the ashvault bag for 2 months, I have fallen in love with it, it has definitely taken away the pain and fatigue I felt on my back from wearing a simple Jansport backpack. My trips mainly consist of riding to work and uni so the bag is perfect. The only gripe I have is with the amount of space as I thought it would be bigger based on the photos.

All in all a great backpack and have recommended to my riding mates.

I had a few questions about preordering a backpack. The response was super fast, friendly, helpful and it was easy to tell that Amanda is passionate about her products and ensuring that customers get what they need. I also forgot to add a couple of small items to my order and Amanda allowed me to pay for them and add them to the same order to save on postage. Couldn't ask for better service. I'm telling you everyone what a great experience I had with Flying Solo Gear

The enthusiasm and knowledge of the designer of the backpack we purchased, was unsurpassed. Passion and thought have gone into this product. It is versatile in application and well made, no serious bike enthusiast should go past this product range.

I had excellent service from Flying Solo. Right from ordering I received messages on the progress of my order to the date of delivery. I couldn't be happier!
And the order included a hand written "thank you" note from the owner. How good is that.

Exceeded my expectations.

From ordering, to delivery (thank you Amanda!) to the product, everything was top notch! I can't get over how soft the hoodie is and how much I want to just keep my hands in my pockets. Seriously, you have to feel these pockets! Such a great product, great experience and amazing story. This will keep me warm for the Canadian winter #BEBRAVE

I was looking for a small bag that I would be able to put my items in that I want to access more frequently. I didn't want a tank bag and with my backpack I need to keep taking it off and this becomes tiresome. The Killswitch Pack is exactly what I was after, it is also durable and you don't even know it's there.

I was most impressed by how quickly the product I ordered was dispatched. Communication from the business was top notch. All questions answered promptly and with genuine courtesy.
I would recommend this business, and the Killswitch Pack that I bought.

My item arrived 5 days later than last expected date. Not having tracking ability was frustrating and caused concern and me emailing you to try and find out what may have happened.

Business History

The beginning of flying solo

It all started with a crash.

It was May 2015, and founder Amanda needed a way to commute around her new city of Melbourne. She decided on a 2007 Suzuki GSXR-600 and named her Sheba.

In January 2016, Amanda and Sheba did a local track day and came off in an off-camber corner at speed. Having no social network yet, she could have been in deeper trouble if she had crashed alone in the hills.

7 years prior, a hit-and-run crushed her mobile into the tank and her housekeys bruised her abdomen from within the jacket pocket. She also spent the night in the hospital for kidney damage. The latest crash reminded her of the realities of motorcycle riding.

While recovering, she started sketching prototypes for a bag that could be worn behind the body to make it safer to ride. This bag would later be launched as The Killswitch Pack, a versatile product that won praise from all types of riders around Australia.

The name Flying Solo Gear Company came from the leap of faith she took when leaving her home for a new life. The logo is a phoenix (rebirth) encircled in a killswitch (the start of every journey).

By March 2017, she restored Sheba into a working powerhouse with the help of two friends, and left Melbourne on an epic 18,000km solo circumnavigation around Australia. Sheba Rides Australia was further proof that she stood by her business name and the mantra “Be Brave”.

Today, Flying Solo Gear Company is recognized for its beautiful design, high quality products, and exceptional customer service.
