I've got a Knox Six Pack. Got it at Christmas. I use my bike and bag daily and can't fault it. There far less expensive then the Kriega ones too. The Kriega might be better haven't seen them, suppose it depends on your budget.

Tell that to my sister's Brother in Law, who fell off an RG125 on his 17th birthday and is now wheelchar bound for life. His back was broken by a can of coke and he's paralysed from the chest down.

And I dont think a back Protector would have helped much either.....

I have a Knox Aeropack and a Kriega R35.

The Knox I use for day to day use, the Kriega when I'm going further because it holds more and is far more comfy to wear and more versatile. I never wear either without a back protector as well.

Quite probably not

I don't carry anything potentially harmful in my rucksacks, mainly clothing etc

YC has a Knox backpack but he doesn't tend to put much in it, don't think it's a good idea to have too much on your back should you come off, but I believe there are a few threads on that matter.



Someone more helpful will be along soon am sure

I've been using that ^^ KNOX backback for a couple of years now and can't fault it. (There's a review in Dec 31 issue of MCN if you have it).

I'd highly recommend their stuff. They're designed to keep the weight off your back to reduce back ache and it works well. Plenty of storage as well.

I've just had this delivered today to replace mine. Newer version and comes with laptop puch and visor bag, as well as the masses of storage that are present in the bag above.

I'd recommend Knox, but that's because I've not tried any of the Kreiga stuff, although it's highly rated.
