OS-6 is weirdly small. Bought a pair to replace my givi crash bar bags (garbage) that are 5 liters. These “6” liter bags are noticeably smaller. Should’ve gotten the OS-12s. Look at the 6 on top of the 12. That 12 looks like more than twice as big.
Just used these 32l bags for 10 days in Colombia and hated them but just realized I was missing the center strap that holds them on the bike! Whenever I'd loosen the straps to get inside a pannier it would fall off the bike because I wasn't using the center strap. Noted!
I know it's been 3 years since you left this comment, but it's the little rectangular buckles that hold the bag onto the rack thing. They go through the slots like buttons on a shirt.
Thanks for this great review. I haven‘t found info on where (on the OS-32 bags) all the other bags (OS-18, OS-12 and OS-6) can be mounted. Could you point out where each of them could be mounted? I.e: OS-12: Top, Front, Back and Side of the OS-32. Also, can the mounting plate be mounted to round pannier rack tubes (like BMW F800GS OEM Aluminium pannier rack)?
To start with the rack mounting, the OS-Platform Plate is available in two types: SW-Motech EVO-compatible and 18mm-19mm tube-compatible. If your rack tubes are 18mm-19mm, then the Kriega Plate would be compatible. For bag mounting/stacking, only the OS-12 and OS-6 are intended to be mounted on the larger OS-32 or mounted as tank/tail bags. The OS-32 is generally intended just as a side pannier. The OS-18 can be mounted as a side pannier or a tail bag.

XSADV Negative the bags over seas are 240 pounds or something like that and when I put in a calculator to convert to Dollars comes to 300 dollars a bag. So it would be more expensive to buy overseas then pay for shipping. Maybe in other instances but here revzilla is the best bet.
I have Kriega gear, and a few months ago I had an accident and the backpack R30 had to be cut by the paramedics, contacted Kriega and they fixed it all for free. You pay for quality and great customer service, it's not cheap, the materials are not cheap, R&D is not cheap and the labour is not cheap either, you see a product, I see a company that is thriving to be successful by having great customer support and great products out there to help us all have a better experience.
In 30 years of adventure riding never seen a BMW lose an aluminum case. Even if they did why can't you lash an aluminum case on just as easy as a soft one? I have had my soft bags sliced open and all the contents were stolen.
Heya, thanks for this review. I'm currently planning a round the world trip after corona has died down and I'm looking at different brands of soft panniers because I don't want to have hard panniers for the reasons you described. There are a couple of big brands that I see around for soft luggage like Mosko and Kriega. Would you recommend these panniers? Every review I read of them is positive but there's a lot too choose from so I just want to ask in case I miss another brand/set up. Cheers!
Hello I have 2 questions : - When you have a OS12 on top of the OS32 pannier, is the length of the steelcore security strap long enough to go around both ? - Is it possible to mix US20 and OS32 ?
No, since these are soft luggage options and there are no harder outer parts it won't protect internal items. You are likely looking for hard luggage instead. And these do not close with a locking mechanism as the video shows them just rolling up. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
While I haven't had the opportunity to test this theory yet, I suspect that with a little ingenuity you'd be able to connect the buckles from the Overlander bags to the loops on either side of the backpacks to add a bit of expansion. -TeamZilla Chris
I can't promise that, but if it counts for anything, I was impressed by your speed. I hope you're equally jazzed about my instantaneous response times. -TeamZilla Chris
Thief could also use the same knife to breach the plastic locks on most hard luggage systems nowadays. The main thing that you want is that they are at least secured to the bike itself, so that thiefs cant just run away in an instant with your luggage. Hard luggage systems do that with built in locks. But with the Kriega setup you can also use steel cable and a beefy padlock to secure it to the bike. They also designed it that way. I also think that it is harder than you think to slice through the 1000D fabric.
ChevronDanbira can you demonstrate how hard it is to cut? maybe the factory can send samples of the material and you can try to cut it. the first thing I thought about was how easy this will be to steal. on the flip side the weight savings is incredible AND it's exactly what I would like for my commute to school
Yes, the Overlander Drypacks are indeed waterproof with their roll tops. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Geek Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com. Ride safe - Pat

They need to add Molee Web to expend attachments options
Hi guys… possible to share how u guys wash and what products r u guys using and how to store the OS32 if there r no rides.. thx a million.. cheers!!

@revzilla - What is the luggage Rack/Plate that can be seen on the GS in this video?
Thank you.
What's the difference between the os6 and us5? looking for a pack on the back of an enduro bike like a fe350
Nice review. Quality bags, but still overpriced.
Try shopping overseas for Kriega. Or any other non-American moto brand for that matter. Soo much cheaper to import it yourself.

I have a US20, I think you could easily strap it to the OS32 with the straps that come with the US20.
What are the differences between this and the drypacks?
Are the gears (camera, drone, laptop...) you place inside protected if falling over? And does it close with a lock system? Thank you

What a great explanation.
For the price they should add more reflectivity to their bags... seriously
Are those 10L bags compatible with the Kreiga backpacks?

I'll stick with the hardcase..
Can I get an extra bonus for the sweepstake for getting first?

Sure am ^_^
No key lock is the main problem. Thief can just use knife and steal everything.

Used them in terrible conditions totally waterproof- honestly
1100 dollars for glorified back packs. They must be joking.
...yeah, but they’re made in Vietnam, and labour’s expensive there!!
