Kriega R25

This is a very well made backpack specifically designed for motorcyclists, however, if shoulder straps are not buckled together, it tends to slip off your shoulders. I use the R25 for shopping and like to unbuckle it (and my Darien jacket) while walking around on hot days. I found that a light mini-bungee 6" long with hooks at both ends, allows me to unhook the straps and retain them in place, allowing much better ventilation while off the motorcycle.

Used this pack for the first time today and all I can say is WOW. I have never owned a pack where I had so much movement and the shoulder vents were not completely covered like with other conventional packs. It barely feels like you have it on. The only drawback as others have found it that it isn't a pack you can wear unclipped such as hanging it off one shoulder as you walk around. Since that wasn't my first goal, it works fantastically well for me.

This is truly a great bag. I use this when I ride my vintage bikes that I would never put bags on. This backpack is a great middle weight bag or day trip bag. I would not use this in heavy rain storms or store elctroics in while raining.

I've owned this bag for 5 years now and it's still looks and works like new. You can use this on a non faring bike up to 120mph and the bag feels like your not wearing it. It has great inside storage for loose stuff like cell phone but it is not very large for lets say a weekend trip..again good day bag.

I went on a week long trip and took this bag was to hold extras. I rode a total of about 1,500 miles for 7 days and this back pack was comfortable. I'm 5'11" and 250 pounds.

I haven't experienced the fit issues others have with this bag - I'm 6'2", 190 which may have something to do with it. Fits well on me with anything from a t-shirt to a sweatshirt, to my Dainese jacket with insulated liner, and needs little to no adjustment. It is well engineered, especially with the design eliminating the flapping of typical adjustment straps. I too wish it had another inside pocket, and one that was big enough for my 15" laptop. It's amazing how much weight I can put in this bag and it still feels light on my back when riding. It is not very secure slung over one shoulder, and the material on the lower inside back seems to wear quickly.
