Kriega Overlander-S OS-32 Drypack Soft Pannier

Kriega OS-32 Drypack Soft Pannier | 32L Waterproof Adventure Luggage

The Kriega OS-32 Drypack is a 32-liter, 100% waterproof soft pannier, built with Hypalon™ + 1000D Cordura® for extreme durability. Offers effortless packing and multiple mounting options via OS-STRAps or OS-Platform. Ideal for serious adventure and off-road travel.

The Kriega Overlander-S OS-32 Drypack Soft Pannier represents the pinnacle of soft luggage design for serious adventure motorcycle travel. At the core of Kriega's Overlander-System (OS) range, this 32-liter pannier combines the benefits of traditional hard luggage – such as a structured, box-like shape for easy packing and load control – with the inherent safety and durability advantages of soft luggage in demanding off-road environments.

Crafted from the highest quality materials, including ultra-abrasion resistant Hypalon™ and 1000D Cordura®, reinforced with Kevlar® webbing and aircraft-grade alloy buckles, the OS-32 is engineered for extreme resilience. Its 100% waterproof roll-top closure, combined with a removable white liner, ensures that your gear remains completely dry and protected from dust, mud, and water, even in the most severe conditions. The white liner also aids in finding items quickly and simplifies cleaning.

The OS-32 is designed to be highly versatile in its mounting. It requires pannier frames to be fitted to your motorcycle (these are model-specific and available from bike manufacturers or aftermarket suppliers). Once frames are in place, the OS-32 offers two primary fitting options:

1. Traditional 'over the seat' saddlebag format: Using Kriega OS-STRAPS (sold separately), the pannier can be thrown over the seat and securely fastened to the frames.
2. Single pannier mounting via OS-PLATFORM: By hooking onto a specially designed Kriega OS-PLATFORM (sold separately), which permanently bolts to your existing pannier frame, the OS-32 becomes a quick-release single pannier. This method is often preferred for its robust, integrated feel and quick on/off functionality.

Beyond its primary function as a pannier, the OS-32 acts as a modular base with 16 "hook-on" points. This allows riders to significantly expand their carrying capacity by adding smaller Kriega OS-6 or OS-12 Adventure Packs to the top, front, or back of the pannier, creating a highly customized luggage system tailored to the trip's length and demands.

Additional features include a reinforced carry handle for easy off-bike portability, shoulder strap loops for an optional OS-Shoulder Strap to convert it into a shoulder bag, a security cable block for anti-theft measures, and Hi-Vis details for enhanced safety in low-light conditions. Mounting and dismounting the OS-32 is remarkably fast, taking less than a minute with its quick-release straps and buckles, which also serve to compress the pack firmly in position, eliminating the need for extra tie-down straps.
