One of the most comfortable packs I've ever used on the bike or off. Most backpacks are very difficult to put on when you are wearing your jacket which snags the arm straps, but not with the Kriega R20. Highly recommended.
Marcus Östlin Ay bro, you're welcome. After working in corporate marketing and when watching these retail moto vids, I look at these vids as how effectively they promote the product. This product, most likely doesn't have a huge relative mark up, BUT I'm sure the accessories to this product does. Moreover, I think Revzilla should have at least links to a product's accessories. MEANING: I think they should have included in the video: the optional waterproof liner, the Kube and the US5/10.
Does a 15.6 inch laptop and a file folder with metal rings fit inside this backpack? I've watched a lot of video reviews on this backpack but none mentions the file folder. Thanks in advance.
do you still want to know? i can take a picture of mine. Both my 17.3" and 15.6" laptops fit, but the 17.3" is a tight fit with the edges forcing against the backpack (not too much tho).. Which means you'll be more than fine with a 15.6
Yer i came to that conclusion too, I've got a small sports backpack now and was thinking if I'm going to upgrade why am i not upgrading in size, plus its only a little bit more in price and yes i can tighten it. Thanks for reassuring my thoughts. Always come here or your site to check out gear.
What size Liner would you recommend for the R20? I know you guys say a Medium for the R15. My only gripe right now is I have a smaller backpack I commute with. It's about 7 years old and it's made by Alpinestars. I think it's a 15L because it is a tad smaller than say a regular Jansport backpack I use for college crap. My Gripe... My Alpinestars backpack is fully waterproof and it was maybe $150. I've never had any issues even in pooring rain. My big issue now is that the red is fading to pink and all my reflective material has come off. Say for commuting or bringing a few things to my girlfriends for a night over would you go with an R15 or R20. I will bring clothes, a few electronics (no laptop) and say some magazines or books. With a spare visor and a tad more my Alpinestars does the job even when it's packed tight. I also use it even if I'm riding spiritedly. So I do not want something that's too bulky and I'm 5'8" 147 lbs. Sorry for the drawn out explanation I'm just very picky with certain things.

Going to opt for the R20 for $20 extra bones. Thank you for the fast liner reply I saw it right away just was busy debating which one I actually needed. My current Astars pack is 15L and although almost perfect... (because it was only $130 and is fully waterproof out of the gate) when you do fully pack it. It tends to bulge out by the back area and it not comfortable pushing into your back! So R20 with Liner should keep me pretty stocked when I'm on my travels on The Dragon in 6 Days. Lets test that Revzilla shipping speed!
What would be a better size, the r20 or 25. I need a backpack for weekend trips where I'm not really carrying much, just a clear visor & spare set of clothes?
That's a matter of preference. This backpack does have a tendency to sit "high and tight", so it may not be comfortable with a hump. If you really dig it though, feel free to order one and try it on with your jacket. We can set up an easy return for you if it is simply not comfortable. -TeamZilla Chris

I have really been looking at it, but for the price, im concerned about the protection it would serve for my laptop, which goes with me EVERYWHERE.
I find it quite hard to put on actually
Can you please start showing what products look like during use?
I have this bag since 2013 and i use it daily and just throw it everywhere still works fine
Great review. Thanks for telling me 27 times that 20 litres is five more litres than 15 litres, and nothing about the internal pockets.
Kriega has several sizes of waterproof liners that fit snugly inside their backpacks.
This is true. -DrewZilla

Diego Fianza thanks dude! Was kinda worried that it's not waterproof, this seals the deal!

You could fit a 1-1.5 inch 3-ring binder along with a laptop. -DrewZilla

Rhix Thansk. Just what i wanted to know! :)
R15 vs R20 for Commuting? I'm use to a small backpack but its like $10 more for 5L more. Could do with a comparison and full open up of each bag.
I'd go with the R20. You can always tighten up the side straps when carrying less. -DrewZilla

I got one and it fits you like a glove.
Would it comfortably fit standard size folders for transporting documents?
As long as the folders are strong enough to resist bending, then yes they should fit comfortably. -DrewZilla

Could I also use this for skiing?
Yes, you could definitely use it for skiing. -DrewZilla

Anyone tried attaching r20 to a tail rack ?
How is this backpack with racesuits that have the bumpy back thing?
It can work with a race hump, but you just want to adjust the bag so that it sits a bit lower on your back. -DrewZilla
Best backpack for motorbikes. Had the ogio piece of shit never again!!!
What would be a better size, the r20 or 25. I need a backpack for weekend trips where I'm not really carrying much, just a clear visor & spare set of clothes?
You'd probably be ok with the R20, though if you're going to carry shoes, you'd be better off with the R25. -DrewZilla
Thanks Drewzilla.
what jacket are you wearing at 1:41?
That is an old Dainese Racing 3 Jacket. It was recently replaced by the Racing 4. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-racing-4-perforated-jacket
@@RevZilla thanks you rock
I have a hump on the back of my jacket (Alpinestars Atem). Would you recommend this backpack or look into another one?
That's a matter of preference. This backpack does have a tendency to sit "high and tight", so it may not be comfortable with a hump. If you really dig it though, feel free to order one and try it on with your jacket. We can set up an easy return for you if it is simply not comfortable. -TeamZilla Chris
Ok we get it water resistant
Only in the USA would you need installation instructions for a backpack lol
Bikers ride in the rain, make a waterproof one Kriega
Bikers that don't know how to read weather maps, yeah. Riding in the rain with the bike is idiotic.
@@MM-qv5lfNo, your idiotic. Riding in the rain is fine
@@MM-qv5lf I hope you are kidding. i can tell you have NEVER toured on a bike before hahahahahah good lord.
One of the best overpriced products I’ve bought this year
