Super_Shabz Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Hey guys i cant seem to find a motorcycle specific rucksack with a decent capacity.

Shabz I have the Kreiga R25 and to be honest I cant fault it! Its amazingly comfy, cant usually tell Im wearing it! I havent tested its waterproofing yet, but it seems like it will be OK. Seems a bit pricy at first, but i'd say its worth it.

Shabz I've been using one of those for the past year or so, very happy with it, been in heavy rain and things inside stayed dry, you can also load a lot of things in to it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Knox-Six-Pack-Backpa...93%3A1|294%3A24
barkwindjammer Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I'm with you on this one Piles, although it looks a weee bit like a kiddies 'postman-pat' skool satchel, I could live with that, and for a 'sky-diver'* plenty cheap *Note: not designed for parachutes, if you buy a parachute that doesnt come in its original bag, proceed with caution, exit the aircraft gingerly at first, and always wear safety glasses.
ulster exile Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 The Knox backpack is a great piece of kit. Comes with a helmet bag and you can attach your helmet to it for when you're walking about. Also has a laptop case and lots of cool pockets. Hubby wouldn't be without his and I think I'll get one too. £40 or thereabouts.

Cov_AL Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Hey guys i cant seem to find a motorcycle specific rucksack with a decent capacity. I need a rucksack to pop my gym bits in but am just finding ridiculously overpriced bags. Just wondering - Why does it have to be a motorcycle specific rucksack?
Joshua2 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/551713/...Tech-7/Rucksack total bargain Looks good. Just ordered one. ATB J
Ttaskmaster Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Just wondering - Why does it have to be a motorcycle specific rucksack? Aye, me too. I have three - A small 25L one for daily stuff, a 65L one which I never intended to buy anyway and a massive one from my PLCE webbing set (Olive Green, not DPM) for the massive stuff. I only wear the first one - The other two lash on the back. Great for touring, transporting bulky suits of armour etc....
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I have the Kreiga R25 and to be honest I cant fault it! Its amazingly comfy, cant usually tell Im wearing it! I havent tested its waterproofing yet, but it seems like it will be OK. Seems a bit pricy at first, but i'd say its worth it. I'll second that. Multipoint fitting, and you realy don't feel it when it's on, whatever weight, whatever speed My days of carrying stuff on my back are gone, much rather strap it to the bike - but if was to purchase another rucksack, I'd not look past the Kreiga.

Rucksack arrived from M & P. Well pleased. Thanks for the tip. ATB J
