Kriega US10 Drypack

This 10 liter one look good and supposedly waterproof.
Gonna pick it up unless there's something better on the market that someone here knows of.

Yup very water proof I have the 20 and 30 size and rode through those heavy storms last year and all my stuff Sayed dry

My husband uses the Kriega US-20 on his Husky 610 and he loves it. Totally waterproof, never budges, very durable. I'll get one, too, when my 12-year-old RKA tailbag finally bites the dust. I keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

Love mine. Find I use the 10 for daily commutes more than my 20.

I've got the 20. They're good bags but something no one ever talks about is how inconvenient they are for quick in-and-out. They have a system of straps that is easy to understand but it takes a few minutes to tie everything up each time you load it. Not good if you need a bag to access frequently, in my opinion. There are other bags that use different methods to secure to the bike that allow the user to still open the bag and access stuff like normal without having to undo the whole thing just to get inside it.

It's not really an issue when you're using a single bag. It can be a PITA when you are using the multi-bag system like the US-40 and they are all lashed together.

I have the US10. It works well when you stuff it full of more stuff than you need. If you're only going to carry a ball cap and a bottle of water, it may be difficult to cinch it down tight enough; depends on the layout of your bike. The other thing to know is that the US10 doesn't really have any sort of handle or carrying strap, nor are there D-rings where you could attach a strap, so it's a slight hassle to carry around when you can't leave it on the bike. That said, I haven't found anything I liked better!

That what I gathered after I watched an overview on Revzilla. I appreciate due to the nature of being a dry bag kind of how it all works, but, yea, it's not for a quick zip in, zip out like a tank bag or something else.

My bungeed thing was on and off in seconds, and you didn't need to remove it to get in and out. But it was hardly water proof.

Yeah, no U shaped zipper on top for easy access like a more structured tail bag. But mine are very easy to take on/off with their hook and eye straps and accessible while strapped on via the dry bag type roll entry. I use the roll top cinch strap as a carry handle. The 10 is so small I never missed a shoulder strap and the 20 comes with one. Low profile and stable on my bike regardless of how much is packed into them.

Love mine! Fits perfect on the tail of a Hyper with no overhang and that's what I wanted.

Here in Tucson, I stuff 3 pints of water, a few cliff bars or a few hard boiled eggs in it, and I'm ready to hit the road.

I'm currently using a small Wolfman. Its not waterproof and it doesn't carry much. For the most part I just carry a compact camera, case for sunglasses, external phone battery, and maybe a bottle of water. That all there's room for but it is quick to get into.

If access was a pain I just might blow off taking a few scenic shots and keep riding. The Kriega seemed ideal but I'd put a priority on quick access over waterproofing. I can always through in a few large ziplock bags to protect the electronics for the few times I'd be riding with a threat of rain.
I should check out the other options from Wolfman before pulling the trigger.

That bag looks awesome.

For a long time I used an inexpensive water sports type drybag attached to the seat via rokstraps anchored to the subframe. A cargo net will hold the bag also.

I've also use a Wolfman tailbag that while not anything like a drybag, seemed to be plenty good enough to keep my stuff dry commuting. Maybe not on the wettest days--use a real dry bag then. Or ziploc bags inside.

I have the 30, my second one. Absolutely love it!
It compresses down to nothing, but will fit a laptop, a pair of size 15 shoes and enough for a weekend trip.
It has a shoulder strap that turns it into a murse, which seem to be recognized by other riders.

I've got the US30 and the US20. I used the US30 going to the Quincy rally this year, where I got rained on. A lot. Not a drop of water inside. That convinced me to buy the US20 as well.

With my Kriega hydration pack, I looked like a rolling Kriega ad.

wolfman offers rain covers for their bags, that pack down to nothing.

^ this bag you have pictured above is the Enduro Tool Bag and is really meant for dirt bike applications. The straps that surround the bag are attached to a velcro base that is permanently attached to the rear fender by nuts-n-bolts. Like so...

I have the Wolfman Peak tail bag and it is a nice piece of kit. Fits nicely on a tail rack or the pillion pad of most bikes and expand like a tank bag when you need a little more room. Not waterproof, but treat it with some of the Nikwax spray-on stuff and it is pretty good in light to moderate rain.

I had one of those bolted to my wr250 and currently use one on my streetbike by simply running the straps through the seat loops. Its secure but small capacity.

I have an Axio Hardpack that I've had for close to 10 years and to me it's still one of the best looking sportbike tail bags. I wish they still made them and even a slightly taller/bigger one, but it's still the best tailbag I've seen.

Here's a pic of it on my old RC.

The Wolfman enduro toolbag was doing fine for summertime and short rides but getting into the fall I need room for an extra layer and heavier/lighter gloves.
And small enough to carry without being a pain.
