Amazing Harness on R30
I have always struggled to find a comfortable backpack when riding but from the very first time I used the R30 I was amazed at how comfortable it was and the way it freed up my shoulders and arms. I have only had it a few weeks so I cannot comment on the longevity of the product but I am hoping it will give me many years of service based on the comments I have read.
I've becoma accustomed to Kriega kit being well made and fit for purpose, but the R30 takes it to another level, a fully waterproof rucksack that will stand the test of time.
It's Kriega! The brand speaks for itself. If I'm going to spend money on accessories related to what Kriega offer, I'm going to spend it here. Not much more to say to be honest! Excellent in every aspect!!!
Great bag and great service.
I was after a backpack large enough to hold my 17" laptop plus other bits for my commute to work. It needed to be waterproof too! After looking around and emailing Dom at Kriega, I went for the R30 and I am not disappointed at all. The main waterproof compartment has kept the laptop dry and there is loads of room. The other pockets, although not officially waterproof, seem to do a good job at keeping the rain out too. There was a small issue with the postage which was sorted out straight away. Great bag, well made, will definitely be using Kriega again if I need anything else.
The top zip failed on my fantastic 2 year old R30 that rarely leaves my back ... Dom replaced the backpack without a whimper. These guys understand how to earn a reputation. Well done chaps, you got a customer for life!
Spectacular everyday bag
I cannot fault this bag it has held up to everything I've thrown at it and then some.
I had the US20 so I already knew Kriega is just the best. The R30 is perfect.
International shipment is good, best from Mexico!
The R30 is exactly what i need, tough, very comfortable, 100% waterproof! even an Irish 2 day monsoon couldn't penetrate it. Pity i had an off at 50mph the day after and holed a couple of sections but it still held firm to my back, i'll try to get it repaired but if not i'd buy another.
ordered a set of r30 plus us10 to get proper transport volume for short week-end trips. the whole system of straps and quadloc is superb and logical. kriega is really a perfect choice for everyone who wouldn't use big fixed luggage systems. materials and making is outstanding.
ordering/shipping is brilliant. highly recommend this brand/articles !! best from germany
Had the R25 for a few years however needed something fully waterproof. The R30 is well constructed like all the Kriega stuff. Comfortable well padded and excellent straps. Lots of room as well.
I have the U.S. dry packs as well, they are fully waterproof, easy to use and look much better on the bike than an ugly top box!
My advice Is get the R30, it is waterproof
I owned the R25 for a few years, a brilliant pack, but when the R30 was released it was excellent! It comes with the removable waterproof liner which lets face it for England is a must. The bonus of being able to pass the excess shoulder straps into the rucksack meant I could reduce the straps in length so the chest piece and bag sat higher and the bag tighter to the body. Ideal if your like me and only have a 40" chest. nothing I've carried in it has ever got wet! The bag is a few years old now and still looks like new! The service and delivery form these guys is one of the best I've had. Yes its not the cheapest but If you buy right, you only buy once!
"best rucksack i have ever owned"
It was a toss up between an r30 or r35 either rucksack would have been great, but I chose the r30 as it's waterproof! Brilliant in everyway! Worth every penny, it may seem expensive but trust me you won't be disappointed. I will only purchase Kriega products for my carrying needs fantastic quality and design, and can also be used everyday if not being used on your bike! Paul Bromley.
Spacious, Dry, Comfortable. Perfect.
I bought this pack a little over a year ago. I was using a normal small bag to carry my laptop in and out of work and a tank bag for my change of clothes. I was specifically looking for a dry bag to keep my laptop dry in case of any showers, they happen in Northern Ireland!
I was iffy on the price, but having had the bag for a year, consider it well worth it, as many other reviewers here.
It is very well made, the quadloc system works perfectly as described to keep the weight off your shoulders, it does keep your gear dry in a downpour (tested several times!)
The single large pocket is great for letting you pack stuff how you want. I put 14" quite thick laptop, charger, sometimes 1 litre water bottle, pair of shoes (size 11) and trousers in it comfortably on a trip to/from work.
I have also done a weekend away with this and an additional US30 strapped to the seat to take all my gear.
Like many other reviewers, I thought hard about laying out this much money for a rucksack, but like many other reviewers, having bitten the bullet, I can honestly say the R30 is worth every penny. Top notch materials, design and quality all the way through, they've rally thought of everything. I've used the rucksack for touring, where it will carry an astonishing amount of kit (including a lap top) and keep it dry in the worst rainstorms. and I continue to use it for my daily commute - you don't know it's there once it's on. The harness is ingenious and compared to rucksacks of old where I struggled to get my armoured jacket arms into the straps, it's now so easy to put on and take off. I will never buy another brand, but judging by how well the R30 is wearing, it will be a good few years before I have to buy another Kriega. Don't think twice about getting one of these amazing pieces of kit.
R30 does all that I need it to and exceeds my highest expectations. I simply do not know it is on my back.
The ultimate motorbike rucksack
I think this is the best rucksack of the Kriega range as the main compartment is waterproof with the roll top closure. I have been commuting with this and it is the perfect size and will fit a laptop in easily. The chest harness is absolutely perfect. The only way it could be better if it had a waterproof outer membrane which could be used in a heavy downpour as the fabric takes a long time to dry out.
this is a very good back pack, down side for me is the straps could be longer as on other packs. apart from that its faultless.
10 year guarantee all at a good price.
Like everyone else here i imagine, i stared at this site for days, then looked elsewhere, then came back still thinking 'this sounds like the real deal .. but can i afford this?' . .
Yes the bag is expensive, but i assure you, it is more than worth it. i don't think i'll ever stray away from Kriega products now that I'm here.
you'll be surprised how comfortable and light the bag feels, even when fully packed out. the harness is great, and easily adjustable.
The bag is completely waterproof as advertised (i live in Ireland, where the sun doesn't shine) but even the 'water resistant' pockets haven't let me down yet.
i've been out and able to pack enough easily for a 4 day trip. and i imagine you could safely pack for a whole week, but its good to know that if u ever need it, other packs easily clip on for extra storage.
Overall great product from Kriega. and really a must have!
Very good product although expensive. I expected a few more pockets where to store little items. But it does do the job and keeps the water out.
the fitting is the best!
Maybe will be better with some compartiments inside.
