Its like a seatbelt
Can't ride without now. Its like driving a car without a seat belt... silly I know. Straps are perfect for clipping my iPoad Shuffle onto!

Almost not there
I use this pack daily, mostly for carrying a laptop. The compressions straps can make the bag so small I can sit and eat at stops and still not remember I'm wearing it. Great when someone says "I wish we could review xxx" and you remember you have it and pull the laptop out. Very strong, well made, and very water resistant (though not waterproof). Brilliant.

Like it's not really there
This rucksack is so unobtrusive that I managed to ride 40 miles before I realised that I had left it behind. Kriega should issue key fobs with this bag, as a reminder to check before starting up!

Real class!!
Although normally not so quick with unrequested e-mails, I feel I must join the chorus of praise of the Kriega rucksacks. I have got the R15 now for 2 years, and I hardly ride without any more. Before I hated having rucksacks while riding my bike (awkward, restrictive and uncomfortable), but really, I do not feel it, except if I don't take it with me: then I have this vague feeling that I forgot something. Well and smartly designed, and very good quality. Real class!!

Sahara desert trip
Prior to trying a Kriega rucksack I have hated riding with rucksacks having tried various inferior products. The R15 was superb to the extent that I didn't know it was there most of the time, it was so comfortable; and it's a breeze to get on and off even when wearing body armour. Many thanks for producing such good kit.
