    Hi,

    I currently have a Kriega R20 rucksack - i am finding it little small and awkward to use.

    Some issues -

    To get into the front zip pocket i have to undo the clip
    Too many adjustable straps - not really used
    Find the bag little too narrow...? i can get my tracksuits and trainers and there is not much space left..

    Any one got any thoughts?

    Should i try another bag?

    Figure out what you want to carry. Pack it up as small as you can and then measure it. Should give you an idea on what size you need. Kriega do bigger rucksacks ;)

    the bigger would just get too big i think...

    i think i need better access to the outer pocket and to be able to put my trainers in there..

    I have the R35, also have to undo 1 strap (of 4) to get the zip

    Its since been redesigned so I'm not sure if they've changed it, I wish it was a double zip (i.e. with 2 zippers, would be easier)

    Its pretty big but I'm tall and wanted something with a longer back length, the 4 straps do mean I can get it small easily though

    Have a 10+ year old Berghaus, has been filled to seam bursting proportions, used 12 months a year in just about every condition and still not a mark on it, no material,zip, strap issues or anything. Must have covered close on 200K miles on my back, never left wanting.

    I've just bought the Boblbee from Motorcycle Helmets, Clothing, Jackets, Gloves, Boots & Accessories as there's a massive 40% off. I've gone with it as I need POCKETS! Looks the Dog's IMO and well organised. Check it out here Boblbee Cant vouch for it yet but I did look at the Kriega but got so many rucksacks its daft. Lost so many pairs of gloves out the top zips and stuff that just wanted something with a bit of deign for the job. Not everyones choice but how cares!

    Worth a look at that price!

    How dya find riding with a Rucksack Kentblade?

    How long is your commute?

    What distance riding have you done before the pain (if any) creeps in?

    I wouldn't be without my r30. It's properly waterproof which is nice, and it's big enough for a weekend away. I use it daily and it seems bulletproof.

    Don't think you can beat Kriega for quality.
