Real hard to get behind a pack with no waist strap... The waist strap should take the majority of the load and the shoulders really should just be stabilizers. After having back surgery I'm pretty picky about what pack I wear. I'll give it a try at the store but I'm not convinced ;) Can you elaborate on why "no waist strap needed"? What's their science behind it?
For those interested in his tool kit.. pretty standard. Looks like he's got a flathead, 2 tire plug drivers, pliers, pressure reader, the little rectangle thing is torx sockets. enduro engineering axle wrench. a ktm socket handle. the upfront 3 pronged thing is a bunch of allen keys on each end and the other two are sockets ready to go with what looks like 8 mm 0 14mm. two other wrenches presumably 8mm and 10mm. The big one is a ktm multipurpose one which can be used for spark plug, tire spoon, and axle wrench. Can't speak of whats in alst one aside from the lighter and I would assume some zip ties. Pretty comprehensive. I would assume he'd have a spare spark, and those tire plugs and the goop in that baggie too.
Kyle, because of this video and the prior to this one by a year, I bought the Klim Nac Pak. Thank you for your time and effort put into each and every single one of your videos. Ive screen shot your tool lay out to try and mimic it. Those Y-tools are awesome.
Awesome pack, ordered one last week and just got it a few days ago. Really comfortable and fits nice over my chest protector. As always thanks for the content Kyle. Thumbs up!!
Great pack. Been using this model since it was released around the end of 2018. Just some clarification that you can buy this pack with the water bladder included which brings the cost to $139. When I bring the drone I actually put the drone in the spot where Kyle has the tools and I have someone else in the group carry my tool pack ;). Group needs to help in dispersing the load. :) Tip for the trail cutters. On the side "probe" holder you can easily slide in and use the included straps to secure a Silky big boy folding saw. Ride on! Another tip. I have the Klim tactical vest that Kyle also has and the tool pack is the same. So when going back and forth between nac pak and vest I just move the tool pack between them.
I use the Klim Nac Pack and love it. I'm a big guy, 6' @ 265 pounds, very large chest, back and shoulders. I wear mine over a Thor Guardian chest protector and an Alpinestar neck brace without any issues. It's comfortable, even when carrying a lot weight. I highly recommend them.
Kyle - great review - love the KLIM Nac Pak for mountain biking and dirt bike riding - I use the KLIM Atlas 26 Avy Pack in my back country sled adventures and it has served its purpose... money well spent on any of the KLIM packs.
I have the klim crew pack. Needed the bigger size so I could pack for my kids and me. Have had hit since spring and love it. It has the waist belt and almost double the room.
Glad they finally included the bladder. Got Mine with the bladder included. The tool pouch sold me. As soon as I saw that on the video on RMATVMC it went right in the cart lol. Had been carrying a USWE and I loved it, it just wasn’t big enough.
This is a great pack, Distributes weight perfectly, The tool bag is great and fits over my fox chest protector very comfortably. I only have i issue .... the pockets in the front are too small for my phone and this is the feature that convinced me to buy the bag in the first place.
My local bike shop pedals Klim gear and I've purchased alot of it and am also very happy with the build quality myself. Might have to add the nak pak to my ever growing purposed pack arsenal.
Thanks for the review been looking to purchase a new pac. This will give me another option for sure. And at least it’s only a pinky you broke, could of been a heel, like myself. Can’t wait to get back on the bike!
I have that same pack i love it i got the klim bladder for mine they are expensive as the old saying goes you get what you pay for most comfortable pack ive ever had can't even tell ive got it on i highly recommend this pack
if you don't want that klim arsenal vest ill take it...its my favorite pack! absolute the best for my experience. it does get heavy when you load it up.
I can also recommend the Fox Portage Hydration Pack, very versatile and tons of space for every little thing u will need on a long ride, fits just perfect and is e bit cheaper than the klim nac pak
I have and like the Nac Pak, and like that it doesn't have a waist strap. I also ride with a USWE Lizard pack and it doesn't have a waist strap either and NEVER moves around. USWE packs have NDM that keep them super secure. Now that I've ridden with these packs that don't have a waist strap and work very well, I've converted.
I've done a couple gravel road crashes where I've landed and slid right on the Nac Pak and I cant find any damage. Its really durable but the zippers suck once they're introduced to some dirt.
I have the older nack pack. For weekend rides I just keep my small tool belt on and take the tool kit from it. For mountain rides I use the large kit. works well. I also have a smaller 70oz camelbak for just racing, but like the klim bladder and disconnect system. Works well and you can turn it inside out for cleaning and drying.
I use the Nac Pak for sledding and the Leatt GPX Cargo 3.0 on the Dirt. Neither have waist straps, You don't need it with how these are designed. They fit snug and do not bounce around!
Thanks for the great review! I was also looking at the KLIM Arsenal 15l backpack and am wondering how it compares to the Nac Pak, and in what situations you would choose one over the other?
Good review ! I use it too. The only comment I have is the weight when used in full with the water bladder filled up. What’s your view in terms of riding with it that way ?
Nuts! Get Wolfman side panniers. Gets the weight much lower, and, off your back. Body motion, standing on pegs then sitting, no way do I wear pack any more. Klim does make great riding gear though.
Have you by chance tried the Klim Scrambler in tandem with the Klim Quench? I like, in theory, how the water bladder is in a light and fast hydration pack, and the bulk of the weight (tools etc) is lower on the hip pack and how they can be run together, or separate.
Looks like a great technical pack but I also wonder about all that weight - if you're not competing, why not carry a bunch of the heavy stuff on the bike?
not to mention that Klim replaced my old one Nac Pak with a new model because one of the strap broke. Their customer service is top notch. However I would recommend to order on Klim website tho if you want easy replacement process compare to third party vendors.
Hi Kyle, Great review. I am just thinking between the ogio dakar and this one. Have you tried the ogio. My friends have one of those, they are much more durable than the uswe i have now.
I just bought the exact same pac and there is now way a normal size cell phone can fit into the front zipper compartments. I have a Samsung J7. I'm kinda bummed
Do they make one just a little bit larger, for long days doing trail work with changing weather conditions I could use a bit more room for extra layers.
What kind of pump do you carry? Thanks for input on this pack. Been wanting to try different pack this year but prefer packs with a belt strap as well. Seem to ride more secure with one.
That’s cool, but I have storage for all the other crap and can’t just find a good 3l hydration pack. They all have too much and are all dark colors which just heats up the water.
Is this water proof or just water resistant? I want a decent size backpack thats not too bulky but holds a decent amount of stuff and can deal with rain in case I get caught in pouring rain coming home from work.
As a noob to dirt bike/enduro riding what is the advantage of a backpack vs bags strapped to the bike? I know real off-road bikes don’t have much in the way of space for bags or subframes etc like my DRZ400S and you want the bike narrow and light, but then again strapping 10+ pounds of gear to your back has its own drawbacks as well. Haven’t heard much talk about this so figured I’d ask the expert.
What happened to the hand? Bought the Klim vest and it is good but turns into an anchor with all the stuff you can put in it. I got tired pretty easily. Back to kriega hydro3, wolfman tank bag and rear fender too bag, talking the weight of my back. Vest would be great for adventure type rides but for more serious single rack trails, nah.
Same. I hate the weight of a full pack. I either run a Dakine fanny or a super-light, china-special mountain bike hydration pack without the bladder ($17 on Amazon).
That chest pocket only fits a mini cell phone... I have the smaller iphone 11 and it won't fit. Everything else I pack, I don't need while I'm on the bike/pack on, rendering the chest pockets useless for me personally. Curious how this thing actually rides, better than the USWE 15, that I have and love?
No waist belt seems like a massive oversight to me considering the weight of 2-3 liters of water & gear. Especially when standing (which is most of the time for me). Makes it a non-starter for me. Otherwise looks great.
No more or even less than a pack this size with a waist belt. The whole reason I bought this pack was to not have a waist belt and it works great. USWE also runs the same system and they carry extremely well.
If Kyle had it on right and not hanging way down his back then it might be more obvious that the single closure is much lower than a typical chest strap on a pack with a waist strap.
Oh and I thought I tried and purchased too many packs lol, whew 😂 I feel much better now 😝 The one that works best for me (petite frame sized person). I like the Osprey daylight pack. Its made well, stays close to your body and has good zippers with ability to carry water or insulate quick access food.
Kreiga is way way better. Test a r two five. It doesn’t have as many pockets but it’s quality and u don’t feel the weight. I like klim pants and shirts but they don’t know quality PACs. Kreiga is the best pac slowpoke.
What happened to the long term review of the 2 stroke tpi ktm. Pretty sure you said you're keeping it, and will put 150 hours on it and report any issues you have? Updates?
No waist strap needed. That is the design. Hydration hose can go on either side. Don't knock it till you try it. Thanks for the peanut gallery.
Dirt Bike Channel and try it I will! Wife and I just ordered ours using your link. Been looking for a replacement for mine for a long time
Without one mine was jumping around while riding.

Just got this pack, Klim is one of the only companies that takes feedback and constantly improve their product. Also great warranty.
Dirt Bike Channel what first aid or emergency kit do you Guys all carry???

No wonder he doesn't respond to comments anymore. There's some real jackwaggons on these sites.
I bought this pack back in March and it is without a doubt the best pack i have ever used.
Awesome pack, ordered one last week and just got it a few days ago. Really comfortable and fits nice over my chest protector. As always thanks for the content Kyle. Thumbs up!!
I bought one of these a month ago. Love it so much.
Just picked one up, as well as a quench and scramble pack. Will be trying out to see what system works better. Build quality is amazing
Love the vids, full of good info. Especially like the rides with the boys. My little guys 2....Im waiting patiently.
I agree. Just bought I for my CO trip I just took. Had the waste belt too. And the combo allowed me to HOLD EVERYTHING

Good review. I had an older nak pak and loved it. Appreciate your vids.
Ordered mine last night on Amazon using the DBC link!
The best thing is you can put sandwichs in the goggle case ^^ ❤
Love this pack. It’s a great design and really durable
Love the Klim my fav pack for sure!

Great review keep up the great work!
I bought this pack it really is nice thank you very much. Cork. Klim Nac Pak with the hydra pack straight from Klim
Right that’s it I’m getting one. That’s for the review. I’ve been looking for a new pack for some time. Thanks for the review.
I have that same pack i love it i got the klim bladder for mine they are expensive as the old saying goes you get what you pay for most comfortable pack ive ever had can't even tell ive got it on i highly recommend this pack
I like that cell phone pocket. I use the Viewranger GPS app for trails, and don't like to mount my phone on the handlebars.
Love this channel and all the orange🤩 would really want one of these nice bikes just under my tree😂
if you don't want that klim arsenal vest ill take it...its my favorite pack! absolute the best for my experience. it does get heavy when you load it up.
I can also recommend the Fox Portage Hydration Pack, very versatile and tons of space for every little thing u will need on a long ride, fits just perfect and is e bit cheaper than the klim nac pak
Love the video!
love that phone pocket
Louis Vuitton works for me on my after rain days with no road dust to the Berg Hutte

no need to clean your water bladder, I take mine out after each ride and store in the freezer. Quick disconnect is awesome!
@@PrimalEnduro Yes, I try to do the same. Doesn't always happen and still nice to clean it every now and then. The hose is what suffers most anyway.
I use the Nac Pak for sledding and the Leatt GPX Cargo 3.0 on the Dirt. Neither have waist straps, You don't need it with how these are designed. They fit snug and do not bounce around!
Will you do a video on your med kit please..
Thanks for the great review! I was also looking at the KLIM Arsenal 15l backpack and am wondering how it compares to the Nac Pak, and in what situations you would choose one over the other?
Got a vid out for a run down on your tool pack contents?.... Nice Vid, thanks.
Good review ! I use it too. The only comment I have is the weight when used in full with the water bladder filled up. What’s your view in terms of riding with it that way ?
Nuts! Get Wolfman side panniers.
Gets the weight much lower, and, off your back.

You need to try a Kriega pack!!!
Great review, thanks. Is it waterproof?
Hey T, is the NAC still your favorite all around backpack after 2 years?
Yoo second this!
Looks like a great technical pack but I also wonder about all that weight - if you're not competing, why not carry a bunch of the heavy stuff on the bike?
Klim makes great products there helmets are the best I crashed bad with one saved my head replaced it with a new one ☝️
not to mention that Klim replaced my old one Nac Pak with a new model because one of the strap broke. Their customer service is top notch. However I would recommend to order on Klim website tho if you want easy replacement process compare to third party vendors.
Hi Kyle, Great review. I am just thinking between the ogio dakar and this one. Have you tried the ogio. My friends have one of those, they are much more durable than the uswe i have now.
Nice video! Will iPhone 12 Pro Max fit inside forward strap pocket?
I just bought the exact same pac and there is now way a normal size cell phone can fit into the front zipper compartments. I have a Samsung J7. I'm kinda bummed
Man try Kriega bags love there setup too
Kreiga is better. I agree.
Do they make one just a little bit larger, for long days doing trail work with changing weather conditions I could use a bit more room for extra layers.
Can you fit the Skydio 2 with it case in any of those packs?
Hi Kyle, have you tried the OGIO DAKAR pack? if yes, how do you compare it with the NAC PAK? Thanks!
Would love a run down on the tools you carry in the Klim tool pack in detail
It’s going to be bike specific.
Your obsessed with backpacks
What kind of pump do you carry? Thanks for input on this pack. Been wanting to try different pack this year but prefer packs with a belt strap as well. Seem to ride more secure with one.
Can you shorten the drinking straw/tube?
How did you hurt your pinky? Also, why the need for a gps. Thanks
That’s cool, but I have storage for all the other crap and can’t just find a good 3l hydration pack. They all have too much and are all dark colors which just heats up the water.
Do a video on your medical kit!
Can you just clarify why the new Klim sac Pak is better than the older model, thanks.
Hi, can you please send more info on the back pack at beginning 0:30 ? I'll be very appreciated. Thank you
Ever tried anything from Zac Speed?
How does this pack fit with a chest protector on?
How about your thoughts of a pack fitting over a roost or other chest protector? are any better or worse? Thanks for all the great videos!!!
Rewatch @ 2:00
Would this be good for on road touring?
Is this water proof or just water resistant? I want a decent size backpack thats not too bulky but holds a decent amount of stuff and can deal with rain in case I get caught in pouring rain coming home from work.

sweet
Does the front pocket fit a standard iPhone 14?
I'm considering getting a USWE ranger 9 or this Klim nac pak. Has anyone tried both or either one? I would love to hear some feedback. Thank you
Will you please give a summary of tools you carry?
I just did a reply about what it looks like he has in there, I just don't know what's in the little baggies.
Its nerdy and not real big but I love fanny/backpacks for riding.
Same. I hate the weight of a full pack. I either run a Dakine fanny or a super-light, china-special mountain bike hydration pack without the bladder ($17 on Amazon).
Where does the beer fit????
Is the bag water proof in any way?
Thanks
All the bags are unavailable right now 😔
That chest pocket only fits a mini cell phone... I have the smaller iphone 11 and it won't fit. Everything else I pack, I don't need while I'm on the bike/pack on, rendering the chest pockets useless for me personally. Curious how this thing actually rides, better than the USWE 15, that I have and love?
Will this fit a 15.6 laptop?
I like my zacspeed backpack it’s the bees knees
Love my zacspeed as well. I do like the Klim cell phone pocket setup.
No waist belt seems like a massive oversight to me considering the weight of 2-3 liters of water & gear. Especially when standing (which is most of the time for me). Makes it a non-starter for me. Otherwise looks great.
Don't need a waist band on this one. That is the entire idea.
Please, weight and litters of the pack?
Will a larger iPhone fit in the shoulder pocket?
My Iphone 6 will fit if I take it out of the the otter-box case.
I just bought this pack and have to agree! it is REALLY GOOD! What chest protector are you using it with?
Much better with a cheap aftermarket waist belt.
New bigger phones won’t fit in the strap though.
Much nicer than my 10+ year old Camelback Mule! Not a bad price either. Good luck with the finger, that's no fun.
Hey can you post an update to this video?
Hi there if someone on ere knows about KTM exc I have a 05/06 dose anyone on ere knows the Tappets clearance plz
No waist belt is a bummer for riding. It doesn’t bounce around??

gas gas guy 80 hours into it.
Dirt Bike Channel thank you for the update I am looking forward to the video on it.
