Kriega R15 Backpack | Compact 15L Motorcycle Off-Road & Hydration Pack
The Kriega R15 Backpack is a lightweight 15L pack with a Quadloc-lite™ harness, ideal for off-road riding, trail use, and hydration. Its compact design and durable construction ensure comfort and freedom of movement.
The Kriega R15 Backpack is a compact, lightweight, and highly durable 15-liter capacity pack specifically designed for dynamic riding, whether you're hitting the trails, engaging in Enduro, or just need a streamlined pack for your daily essentials. Its smaller profile and short back length are engineered to provide maximum freedom of movement, making it an excellent companion for off-road riders. While not a fully waterproof roll-top, it features high-quality YKK® water-resistant zips, offering good protection against splashes and light rain. For complete waterproof security, it can be seamlessly integrated with Kriega US-Drypacks (US-5 or US-10) which hook onto the pack's attachment points (sold separately).
The R15 incorporates Kriega's signature Quadloc-lite™ harness system. This innovative design effectively transfers weight from the shoulders to the chest and body, significantly reducing fatigue and providing exceptional stability. The harness is angled away from the underarms, ensuring total freedom of movement, which is particularly beneficial during active riding. Once the harness is size-set, it's a simple click-in, click-out system with no need for constant readjustment. An optional removable waist strap is also included for extra demands of aggressive off-road riding.
Constructed from robust materials like 1000D Cordura® on the base and harness, and 420D nylon rip-stop for the main body, the R15 is built to withstand the rigors of any adventure. It features a main compartment with a full-opening YKK® zip, a zipped side/front pocket for quick access to smaller items, and an inner sleeve pocket with a compression strap that is compatible with a hydration reservoir (up to 3L, sold separately) or a back protector. Reflective panels on the harness and a reflective print on the rear enhance rider visibility, adding a crucial safety element for low-light conditions. The Kriega R15 is a top choice for riders seeking a compact, comfortable, and reliable pack for their active riding pursuits, backed by Kriega's renowned 10-year guarantee.
