Kriega OS-22 Drypack Soft Pannier | 22L Waterproof Adventure Bag
The Kriega OS-22 Drypack is a 22-liter, 100% waterproof soft pannier, crafted from ultra-tough Hypalon™ + 1000D Cordura®. Ideal for adventure riders seeking durable, quick-release, and expandable side luggage that requires existing pannier frames.
The Kriega Overlander-S OS-22 Drypack Soft Pannier offers a refined balance of capacity and agility, making it an ideal choice for adventure motorcyclists who demand robust, waterproof, and modular luggage for their extended rides. As a core component of the Kriega Overlander-System (OS), the OS-22 provides a practical 22-liter capacity in a structured soft pannier format, designed to integrate seamlessly with your motorcycle's existing pannier frames.
Constructed from Kriega's signature ultra-durable materials, including a primary body of Hypalon™ and 1000D Cordura® – renowned for their exceptional abrasion and tear resistance – and reinforced with Kevlar® webbing, the OS-22 is built to withstand the harshest environments. Its completely waterproof design is achieved through a reliable roll-top closure system, complemented by a removable white liner. This liner not only ensures your gear stays perfectly dry and free from dust and mud but also brightens the interior for easier item location and simplifies cleaning.
The OS-22 Drypack is engineered for secure and convenient mounting onto existing motorcycle pannier frames (please note: pannier frames are required and are typically bike-specific, supplied by the motorcycle manufacturer or aftermarket brands). Riders have two primary options for attachment:
- Over-the-seat saddlebag style: Utilizing Kriega OS-STRAPS (sold separately), the pannier can be thrown over the seat and securely fastened to the frames, offering a traditional pannier setup.
- Single pannier quick-release: By hooking onto a dedicated Kriega OS-PLATFORM (sold separately), which permanently bolts to your existing pannier frame, the OS-22 transforms into a highly secure and rapid quick-release single pannier. This method is favored for its integrated appearance and speed of attachment/detachment.
Beyond its primary function, the OS-22 is designed with modularity in mind. It features 16 integrated "hook-on" points, providing ample opportunity to expand your carrying capacity. Smaller Kriega OS-6 or OS-12 Adventure Packs can be easily attached to the top, front, or back of the pannier, allowing riders to create a highly customized luggage system that can adapt to different trip lengths and gear requirements.
Additional thoughtful features include a reinforced carry handle for easy off-bike portability, integrated shoulder strap loops for an optional OS-Shoulder Strap (to convert it into a convenient carry bag), a security cable block for added anti-theft peace of mind, and Hi-Vis details to enhance rider visibility in low-light conditions. The quick-release straps and buckles also serve to compress the pack firmly, preventing any unwanted movement during aggressive riding.
