does the bag need to be full to offer back support?

If it is mounted without having a sissybar or mounted in front of the sissybar it will not give full support without .something in it. But it will give some support because the the bag is semiridged.

The bag sits behind my backrest so I don't use for mine or my passenger as a back rest. It is very ridged but I don't think that I would want to lean against it.

First - I don't use it for back support. I have a backrest. That said, the bag is pretty darn rigid on account of interior panels on all four sides and the bottom. I'd say that if you can secure the bag so it doesn't slide at all (with all the great tie-down points that should be doable) then the answer to your question is "no" - the bag does NOT need to be full to offer back support. If I might add - the "gran tour" label does not a big bag make. This bag is not suitable as your only piece of luggage for a multi-day trip unless you travel exceptionally light.

It is not. It has a hard back. It can be flattened. I love my bags. Super sturdy.

No. This does not come with a frame or any supports. It is just a bag made of 'thin' (as in thickness, not strength) synthetic fabrics.

Hi John, Thank you for contacting us! In response to your inquiry, as the product is intended for use in airports/airport terminals, the final design of the product did not involve back straps. I will say that it is possible to wear a backback whilst using this product, provided your max load does not exceed 220 pounds. Please let us know if you have any other questions, I am happy to help: 888-236-5657 or david@kickboardusa.com

No...it's actually very comfortable and you don't feel anything pressing up against you. At the same time, I'm not that tall (5'2-1/2") so I don't have that much of my back unsupported. Hope that helps!

No. This is a travel bag for local travel. Plane travel requires extra padding and support as there is no guarantee that someone's luggage will not fall onto the board or a handler drops it rather than placing it. I used this bag for when I moved as I was able to monitor the movers when they loaded the truck.

If the bag were to be filled with something then yes, but don't expect a whole lot of support. It is only about 6 inches high and held on with straps and the plastic buckles. It would offer some support, but don't expect it to perform like a rigid backrest by any means.

Yes fabulous back support. You place the center part behind your back and the sides buckle in front of you. Go to Twin Z website to see a video and photos

The bag does not offer much in the way of protection, but it works as a backpack nicely. If you are wearing it on your back then it's safe from damage, but I would strap it on to anything.

You do need a support in the back of the bike, because it attaches itself to it. This basket only attaches itself to the back, its not a front basket at all. Its a great product though, I had it for a year now, and its still super sturdy. Hope it helps, cheers! =)

Yes it supports my middle back...I wouldn't recommememory memory foam if you're over200lbs.

Yes. The back panel could wrap around an arm and connect to the bag with the Velcro close. However, to work really well, see if you can anchor the side ribbons on the bag to the front and back of the chair. This will keep it straight and prevent sagging. Hope this helps.

As described online the bag is to be used to hold small items conveniently by the user. My mother has filled hers to the max but it does create a tumble issue if too much weight is added so I wouldn't depend on heavy loads in the bag.

Have not tried to use a trunk bag, but it should work since the rack is not fully vovered

Yes, the bag comes full, and the weight is about 80 pounds. It's a great bag, and my grandson loves it.

Not in the front but there is a compartment in the back that makes it possible. I love this bag personally.

Possibly, but the greatest support is on the seat bottom which has bungee cords underneath for extra support. The back rest is just canvas with no extra support.
