Kriega rucksack
I just bought the kriega 25
http://www.kriega.com/pages/r25/R25-topframeset.html What a fantastic bit of kit, i kinda knew it would be good after reading loads of reviews about it in various bike magazines but in reality it's so much better. It's very subtle to look at, a really good size with a big chunky zip opening at the top, 4 compression straps to stop it flapping around when it's not full and a brilliant harness system. When it is full, and it takes alot of stuff to fill it, you don't notice you have it on. When you ride with it, it's so comfortable, it seems to sit just in the right place on my back and the harness means the weight is not on my shoulders but spread between the chest and hip harness. It also has loads of accesorises that you can get to go with it. I have ordered a US10, which is a 10 litre (completely waterproof) tail pack which comes with all the attatchment straps for the bike but you can unclip it from the bike and it clips to the rucksack http://www.kriega.com/pages/us10/us10-frameset.html I also order a Kube pocket which conects to the harness on your front to add a pocket, ideal for phones and wallets. http://www.kriega.com/pages/kubepock...-frameset.html The best bit of all and a fairly good sign of quality is that it has a 10 year guarantee. I bought it to take to Ireland in a couple of weeks on a touring holiday on the bike, if my first impressions are anything to go by i think it's gonna be the perfect rucksack. |

Sounds good, I need to look into getting a decent tailpack. I was pondering the Oxford version but if your stuff works well I may change my mind.

The US10 is quite small, but I can get a thin thermal top, thin fleece top, map and odds and ends (camera) in mine. Same stuff as youd get under the SV seat (a bit more). Works great tho and waterproof. You need to order the straps separate I think for the seat. (Oh and by the way it was a bloke shot dead in/outside that club so we were lucky to get to HG I think ) |

Well the Kriega came with me on my Ireland trip (as read about in the photo's section ) what a brilliant piece of kit. With all the torrential rain we rode through, hours and hours of it, everything stayed bone dry. In the tail pack which says it's 100% waterproof and in the rucksack which doesn't have any mention of being waterproof. The small tail pack was a godsend on our day trips, big enough for things we needed, camera, wallets, emergency rations and spare gloves etc and it saved one of us having to carry a rucksack. The rucksack was really comfortable and seemed to carry loads.
My only issue was that the plastic buckle on the chest strap rubbed on the tank quite severly, but this may have been my fault. Being a short **** i have to basically lie on the tank to reach the handle bars and with the rough roads there was alot of movement as i bounced around on the bike, And as i got tired i was resting more weight on the tank. Problem was solved with a bit of tape just above my tank pad. Taller poeple or those with longer tank pads may not have this problem |

Re: Kriega rucksack
I just brought the R25. Must admite it is a bit pricy but well worth it. The quality is spot on and boy is it comfy.
