These pants are completely 100% waterproof. They are slightly large due to the ability to layer underneath. They dont breath all that well in my opinion, but its waterproof so what do you expect? The only gripe I have is that there are no pockets at all. So there is no place to put wallet, phone, etc. The waist is elastic material so you can access anything you have under the frogg toggs. Great value for the price. Definitely recommend. Cannot comment on durability. Owned them for a few weeks and used them several times.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Frogg Toggs Original Pro Action Rain Jacket The original ultra-lightweight, breathable rain suit that made Frogg Toggs famous, as it has evolved to offer maximum performance. The bomber-style Pro Action suit features a full cut design and is made so lightweight, you can store it easily. And like all Frogg Toggs suits, the molded polymer zippers and nickle-plated snaps eliminate the worry of rust, even in snow and saltwater conditions. Features Fully adjustable, attached, tuck away hood with zip closure 1 wristband design to keep the rain out Front zipper closure Snap shut storm flaps 1 elastic waistband

First off I would like to say that I did not buy this jacket for use as a motorcycle jacket. I am using this at work because I work outdoors in the elements. The jacket is obviously on the bigger side since it is to be put over clothes and/ or jackets. This products is 100% waterproof. I tested it out on a rainy day for about 5 hours and not one drop of water got in the suit ( I have the pants as well as the jacket). I would not recommend this to be worn on a motorcycle. The back end of the jacket rides up when you lean into a tuck. It needs some sort of attachment to the pants. I will say that I have not actually riden in the rain with the jacket, but it just seems like it would let water in when in the tuck. Overall for the price, this jacket is unbeatable. I would also like to have one or two pockets just for a phone, keys, wallet, or a few dollar bills.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just recently purchased the Kriega R30 riding backpack and wanted to do a review on it. First off, the quadlock system used by Kriega on their backpacks are amazingly comfortable. I loaded up the backpack as full as I could the first day that I got it and had very little pressure on my shoulders or back. I plan to use the pack as a commuting/ travel pack as it is waterproof. So far, it has not rained for me to try out the waterproof aspect of the bag yet. It does hold quite a bit of stuff . It even has straps on the outside of the pack to synch down the pack if not full. I have only had the pack for a few days and am loving it so far. There is a 10 year warranty as well that I am sure I wont have to use. YKK zippers for the front storage areas and a roll with buckles for the main compartment. Seems extremely durable. Hope this helps anyone who is looking into the Kriega line of packs. Bought online from Revzilla by the way, totally recommend them.
Yes, I recommend this product.

An innovative extremely efficient load-carrying system designed for motorcycle riders. Unlike conventional harness systems the load is carried on the hips chest, transferring the majority of the load away from the shoulders and thereby preventing the neck strain experienced with regular rucksacks. Ergonomically designed with no arm restriction for long distance comfort on a motorcycle. Features Main compartment - YKK oversize zip Side access pocket with 4-point load compression. Internal magazine sleeve, which can accommodate a 14 laptop Internal key-clip SUPERSPACE 5mm airspace fabric Oversize YKK coil zips Schoeller DYNATECH with intergrated 3M Scotchlite reflectivity 1000D Dupont Cordura base harness 420D nylon ripstop - lightweight yet extremely strong CNC 6061-T6 alloy buckles Expanding outer pocket 10 year guarantee 25-litre capacity 520mm(H) x 300mm(W) x 160(D) mm
 

Fit with smaller body

How well does this pack fit on a smaller frame? I am 5'7" and 38" chest. Will the pack adjust small enough to keep the pressure off my shoulders?

tail bag configuration

Is there any way to mount this as a tail bag? I would like to carry this off the bike with me but I do not like the one strap of the US-30 tank bag.

Kriega US-30 Drypack The Kriega US-30 is 30-litre capacity 100 waterproof motorcycle tailpack. Unique design solution enables fitment can fit directly to the bike's subframe or solid mounting under the seat. The US-30 also comes equipped with removable shoulder and waist straps, so it can be carried courier style, on or off the bike. Base anti-slip mesh also doubles as a pocket to store the shoulder and waist straps when the US-30 is attached to the bike. The shoulder strap connects to the large D-rings at each end of the pack and the waist strap connects to 2 fold away buckles at the corners of the mesh-pocket. The Kriega US-30 motorcycle tailpack is designed to work perfectly with pretty much any motorcycle, via a super secure attachment to the sub-frame. The pack is easily attached/removed by 4 x quick-release buckles, and no extra bungees or rain covers are required. The Kriega US-30 tail pack utilizes the latest generation of fitting straps US Alloy Hook Straps allow tailpack combinations of up to 90-liters to be carried with confidence and convenience. Easy on/off with no loose straps remaining. Custom CNC milled, aircraft grade, 6061-T6 alloy hooks attach to the four discreet web loops located on the sub-frame of the bike. Fitting method is particularly suitable for traditional one-piece motorcycle seats and bolt-on seat pads/racks, as well as standard seats. US packs can be mounted inline or across the seat. See US Alloy Hook Strap page for full fitting instructions. For use as a tankbag, Kriega US Tank Adaptor must be purchased. Features 1000D Dupont Cordura (100 waterproof main body) RHINOTEK abrasion resistant fabric HYPALON abrasion resistant re-enforcement DRYPACK removable tape-seamed liner (white) 420D nylon ripstop - lightweight yet extremely strong Acetal ITW Airloc buckles YKK water-resistant zips 6061-T6 alloy fitting hooks Side access zip pocket (water-resistant) Coated-mesh pocket Shoulder waist straps 1 x set US Alloy Hook Straps included 10-year guarantee 30-litre capacity 445mm(H) x 295mm(W) x 225mm(D) Note The US-30 subframe loops are reflective, not black as shown. This will help to ensure a secure connection to the frame of your motorcycle, and to differentiate between the subframe loops and the connection straps.
 

fitting shoes

would a pair of size 43 dainese trq race air out shoes fit in the 30 liter tail bag? I want somewhere to store my motorcycle boots when at school or work.

just to answer my own question, I bought the pack and it fits me fine. it is slightly loose when i dont have on any gear and am just wearing it around the house. When I have my leather jacket on, the pack fits perfect. I love this pack!
