Default Which rucksack? Kriega r25 / knox six pack

Hi

looking for a bag to use to put clothes in when i commute to work, got the latest ride which by chance had a rucksack test, these two bags did well with the know being 1/2 the price of the kriega, just wondered if anyone on here has any 1st hand experience with either bag

thanks

Actually I have tried both and cannot see what they have different to any of the backpacks I currently sell on my shop.

Being in the business of "Bags" in general I wanted to familiarise myself with the products. So personally cannot see what they have more/less than any backpack with a padded bag to offer comfort.

You can obviously go down the Boblbe-e route which is a hard shell outer and you can fit half your life in it Hein Gericke sell them but so do I and there is a discount for org members.

I use a Knox Sixpack every day to and from work and I love it. I forget it's there most of the time its that comfy.
Used it for Donington the other week as well. Highly recommended!

Just to mention, 600+, that's a fantastic looking site you have there, lots of nice features that I appreciate on a semi-professional level.

Quiff is the Kriega King, had his rucksack, bum bag and tailbag at AR this weekend. Drop him a PM if he doesn't pop along to the thread.

FWIW, I used the Kriega US-20 in preference to a rucksack so it keeps my back free...

got the Us20, 100% waterproof and like mentioned leaves your back free. Will carry all the clothes you need for a weekend as well. Tried the R25 and Drew Carey has the Knox one. the Knox is bigger and just as waterproof yet costs less.

I've got a Knox rucksack. I'm on the second one now......not through choice. Quality isn't up to much IMO. First one split but was replaced FOC. THe zip has pulled out of this one and is held in place with safety pins. I've had cheaper rucksacks which have lasted twice as long. It is comfortable to wear though with waist and chest straps to stop it moving about.
