Are there any good rucksacks?

[northwind]

I know a guy who suffered kidney failure after falling off with a pair of shoes in a rucksack, anything solid in a bag can basically be an anvil if you land on it (same goes for cycling btw...)

I just use a random Eurohike cheapy that I bought about 8 years ago for a tenner, it's almost completely unwaterproof so I have a roll-top bag in it which is 100% waterproof. Never failed me, I honestly don't reckon these expensive kriegas do anything that it doesn't.

I used a Berghaus dart for about ten years, then 2 years ago I got another Berghaus. The same style. side pockets etc. I cant fault it. I use it daily on bike, in car on ferry etc. Ive had cheaper rucksacks that seem to struggle holding themselves together with riding at higher (?) speeds down the autobahns. So I am more than happy to pay that little more for the Berghaus name, about 30-40 quid. But I doubt Id pay the 90-100 for a Kriega.

I didn't. I got mine via a bulk purchase organised by the ever helpful Tink on the Gixerjunkies forum. I think I paid about 70 quid for it, money very well spent.

I do fine the R35 a little hard to put on is there some form of technique?

However once on your arms are fully free like your not wearing a bag...

Saw the thread title and was going to post exactly the same thing. With leathers on almost have to be double jointed to put on and zip coordination is sometimes a bit tricky with helmet on but that maybe because its a leftie zip

i'm sure it's a great rucksack but £70-100 on a fecking bag come on.

It is alot i know i would price them at £70 off the shelf but you get what you pay for i suspose

well not really how i class it it's a bag a space to put stuff in that's it above £40 and it's rediculous.

Fair enough... you seen/ worn a r35?

tried one and what can i say it's good yeah but not that good i'd want to miss out on several tank's of petrol for.if you've got the spare dosh then yeah absoloutly but other than that i cant see the point.
