Biking Backpack

[arun1uk]

Just bought one of these as it was on offer and seems like pretty good reviews.

Not bad for £14 inc VAT and Postage.

Hope it helps someone!

Ah ok, thanks for the heads up! Apologies fellas. As you were...

[Biker's Nemesis]

This was my first biking backpack.

[Josh-3py4s]

Bought one, zip broke first use.

Since bought an Ogio No Drag Mach 3 and not looked back!

[PTF]

Same here. It's in a cupboard somewhere

Just looking at the Ogio range, the 3 and 5 look good.

Anyone else have one?

[Wildfire]

I have an Ogio. It’a Ok. The helmet carry is a nice addition. The actual space in it is not great and the zips are rubbish.

For that sort of style the Dianese bag is much better, but overall a Kreiga is far better.

I’ve done around 50,000 with my R30 and it’s just as good as the day I bought it.

One of these would be my choice.

Tough, utterly waterproof, and come in decent sizes.

Not cheap, but you do get a 5 year warranty.

Kriega make great rucksacks too. Again they are expensive but top quality.

Another vote for the Kreiga R30, it’s an excellent bag

I am as tight as a ducks arse, but would definitely stretch to a Kriega.

[Dakkon]

I have a kriega, I commute in all weathers, it has never let me down.

[sprinter1050]

Amazon list a Triumph R30 backpack. Looks identical to the Kriega & a review says it is a Triumph branded Kriega but £144 instead of £169 (Amazon prices)
Got to be worth a go?

[Pravus1]

Yeah. It's the same stuff just branded. So as long as you don't mind that it's a decent saving to be made.

[Wildfire]

For some reason Triumph branded stuff always seems to crop up a bit cheaper than the manufacturer branded kit.

[anonymous-user]

I have a Kriega 30, it's big, but very very well made.

[Mr OCD]

Agreed... my Kriega R25 is nearly 10 years old ... still looks like brand new. Proper quality kit ...

My US10 looks rather battered though ... but then it's been down the road a couple of times ... not the tailpacks fault ... more the riders unscheduled dismount ...

The Ogio range of backpacks always tend to perform well in group tests and long term reviews:

And actually effectively water resistant unlike some biker marketed apparel.

Just for reference: the Ogio backpacks are water resistant not waterproof.

[LiquidGnome]

I have a Kriega R20. It's...ok. Definitely not waterproof but I don't think it's advertised as such so can't really criticise it for that.
