Best Motorcycle Backpacks of 2022

motorcycle backpacks are mostly they mount you and don't care whether you're hunting gixxers or walking to kindergarten so why pay 10 times the price of a normal pack it's only worth it when the bag does something special like these four we begin with an offering from milk from dyslexic they call it the tech pack and its d3o implants have enough frontal padding to embarrass pamela anderson you need straps so might as well make them safe this cable lock is special too it's long enough to loop through your chin bar your jacket sleeve and your bike providing peace of mind for a quick pit stop or a long one [Music] it's security by monotony if ocean's 11 wants my they can either snip through 13 nylon loops to detach the cable or go get a cutter for 1 8 steel and meanwhile anyone can open the zipper to take my contents it's more fort nuisance than fort knox but most theft is opportunistic so still useful less so is climb's invitation for us to personalize with our own padlock and that's a corporate way of saying you can pay us 260 dollars but no we won't spend two bucks 60 to give you an integrated locking solution pocket wise there's a bottom loading front pouch that holds two leaders an alfresco pouch that holds four leaders a goggle nest that holds 500 mils or so a hidden passport pocket and a big main hull measured in gallons 21 liters in total according to milk personally i find 21 liters is surplus to requirements like a 21 inch penis so i use a neck pack which is 13 liters and that's just right despite being slimmer the neck pack adds a hydration bladder a detachable tool kit and vertical exterior storage for tent poles and tire irons this is the best equipped best deal in motorcycling it started life as a snowmobile bag hence the slots for your shovel and avalanche probe that's also why climb prices it at 100 the snow market is colder so runs cheaper i've had mine for seven years now there's a new neck pack for better and worse the pivoting sternum strap is more comfortable the buckle whistle is louder and the rigid goggle nest is more protective almost overly protective but there are also steps backward the new neck pack is wide enough to hold a laptop which to an outdoor purist is too wide also where the old one had a hydration bladder the new one has a hydration hook and i tried sucking on this aqua blue aluminum i'm still thirsty so once again klim invites us to personalize the pack with our own fluid bag lastly the new tool kit is a side step it's shorter which every lady knows is worse but it's also rubber coated which some ladies prefer decreases the risk of rust impregnation in the end i bought a new one and i'm at peace with it i was initially skeptical that they nixed the waist strap but it's true that with sternum panels you don't need anything else now kriega thinks differently notice how climb glues extreme neon everywhere while kriega quietly stitches their logo in reflective thread to actually survive extreme use and everything you need to know about this bag can be understood in the details the straps are not stitched to the normal tear point instead they disappear inside the bag towards a lumbar anchor the webbing for storing and drying layers is cut from hypalon same stuff as life rafts so even with these big holes i can't i can't break it webbings are normally made from interlaced elastics which break brittle in the sun so krieger gives us hypalon on a single loop of elastic this way it's trivial to replace just the stretch cord making the webbing both holy and resurrectable like jesus now roll tops are the only waterproof closures but most roll top bags look unshapely the only difference between this and a garbage bag is that it costs 220 and says alpine stars instead of glad so kriega hides one roll top under the top handle and another within the main compartment so you get rubber bag waterproofing without the homeless style one last detail is the size markers small medium and large you can set your sag at a glance why doesn't every manufacturer do that they probably will in 20 years just like everyone now offers this pivoting quad lock harness that kriega pioneered 20 years ago when you understand the details you understand how kriega can sell more 320 bags than pablo escobar and how they honor a 10-year no warranty without going bankrupt finally gv's gravel tee it's rigid so it goes great in the rear let me rephrase that the backpack holds its shape and is stitched with molly so it makes a practical tail bag also i mean come on flop down tool or lunch shelf how cool is that you fill this with torx wrenches and diet coke you'll be the coolest adventurer in utah only other party trick is this removable boot bag it clips to the outside to keep your puppies away from your kitties also with that installed you could break check stevie wonder and not get rear-ended i like the waterproof roll top i like that the buckles are aluminum i even like that the gravel tee has just been discontinued because its 270 dollar price tag is dropped and dropping so the climb tech pack offers protection for your chest and your belongings the neck pack is the most feature full bag for a hundred dollars the kriega trail 18 is the refined choice we would all make if we could afford it and the gv gravel tee is rigid so it goes great in the rear no wait i didn't mean [Music]
