Hi Billy. Nicely done video with a well thought out test. I have the Kriega R25 and have always been unhappy with the non waterproof aspect of it. This new bag is a fresh new design with good waterproof features. I think I may have to take a look, cheers.

Good review, and you’re right about the koala bear analogy lol. I’ve had the R20, R30, and have settled on the R15 and a US20. But this bag looks great with more organization than the R15 and 20. I was wondering how water resistant the main compartment is, my R15 and 20 have never leaked. Is the main compartment zipper the water resistant type?

Cheers, well as you probably saw in the video the main compartment is far from waterproof, the zipper is not the rubber sealed type, just fabric.

Even tho l left backpacks behind afther l stop riding sportsbikes, this looks just mint. Now days l have a ugly topbox, but l prefere that over a backpack.

Top boxes definitely have there uses, carrying massive chains for a start.

But how would this be for a hiking bag too? Like the waterproof spots for camera gear but comfort is a huge let down in camera bags and why I'm here looking at riding bags.

Well i can tell it as comfortable off the bike as it is on.

For that price it should be all waterproof, the amount of water that got into main compartment is insane. There are much better bags that are not rated as "adventure" as a Timbuk2 Parker and Lane or some Thule models..

I thought the webbed area on the back was were parents put their babies while riding. Really cool room u filmed it in

Can a small laptop fit in the backpack?

Can we mount it on tank as a tank bag

I guess you could if you wanted, there’s lots off straps you would have to secure from flapping around, id rather have a dedicated tank bag to be honest.

Highly recommend using the small waterproof compartment for a roll of toilet paper. Perfect stash spot

£200 for something that leaks like a teabag 😂

Is that leaks or looks? Coz mine didn’t leak. But it does resemble a tea bag slightly.

I'm speaking about the zipped compartment, agree the sealed bit is sealed but the zipped bit should have a sealing zip like a North face jacket etc, doesnt look like a tea bag 😊
