Too small, silly fashion item. Same price will get you a 40-60L drybag that can instead be strapped to the bike.

Riding with a backpack is quite unpleasant, I use an expanding 45L GT moto backpack/tank bag, stays in the box most of the time, was 15 quid in halfords and about 4 years old..

Got rated as spam, isn't actually spam is it Rolling Eyes

Cheers, I've ordered one. Unlike our resident riding god kramdra, I prefer a backpack to carry a drink and some food on my back rather than install a shitty little tail or tank bag, nor do I want a faggy top box on my racebike yo.

His product, no.
His site, no.
Surprisingly decent posting, yes.

He is neither advertising his site, phishing for info or spreading malware. Sure, he may spread disgust across most posts, but this certainly isn't spam Wink

I think you mean 'envious of your swag'. Jealousy is completely different and implies someone might be trying to take your
clapped out Fazer and 10 quid rucksack away from you.

Unlikely.

Delivered for less than the price of a takeaway, definitely worth a punt. Nice clean lines. No fussy straps to tap on lid when loose!

Bought one, after a colleague hooked me up via hotukdeals. Then found it here.

Though I do have Kriega stuff, this is cheap and handy to leave under my desk for when I forgot to bring a bag in.

I've had one of these for a few months, decent enough back pack though anything put in the pockets inside is likely to just all out of the pockets into the main bag, no biggy though. Definitely water proof as have ridden in heavy downpour on a commute and everything remained dry inside.

Just saw it there as well. Bought this one which doesn't have the XLmoto branding.

fyi the description is a bit out where it says 'hard shell'

it's not, it's foam, but it's stiffer than a normal backpack

Mine arrived today. Would have been annoyed at paying 40, but for 13 delivered it's actually really good, would recommend.

Mine came yesterday as well. The only thing that might get annoying is the bottom seems to dig into your back. Probably not an issue with a motorcycle jacket but I was planning to use it more when cycling.

I wear fairly thick hoodies and didn't seem too bad, but yeah, bike jacket will be perfecto.

Mine arrived today, I filled it with books and tried it on. I like how it keeps the weight close to your back and fairly high up, feels really stable. The build is pretty decent as well, the rubber sealed zips and removable waist and strap buckles are nice touches.

I had no issues with it digging into my back, but I imagine that would happen if you didn't wear it high enough.

Decent Thumbs Up but I probably wouldn't have paid over £30 for it.

Seems to be the opposite with me, with the straps looser it doesn't dig in.
