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.

I spent a lot of time researching luggage options. I have a Kawasaki Z1000, which to my knowledge, has no OEM luggage accessories. I looked at aftermarket hard luggage but they all seemed to make the bikes they were illustrated on look awkward. I'm all for function but form is nice as well. Then I happened upon the bags from Kriega. First I was captivated by the styling then the design and function of these bags. The way they are designed or to choose a more fitting word "engineered" is amazing. Much thought has been put into these bags. The attachment method and the numerous options to combine bags of different capacities to form a flexible storage solution amazes me still. I started with this bag using it as a tail bag. I have since purchased two Kriega US-20 bags to attach to it to form a 70 liter storage solution for touring #I presently use the 30 alone for commuting back and forth to work#. I find the Kriega US-30 has enough capacity to hold my 17inch laptop, rain suit, heated jacket liner and gloves with a little room left over to fit a shirt and pants and shoes for work #we're business casual#. Overall I am very pleased with this product and have even received numerous compliments on the styling of the bag as I carry it off-bike and into the office.

Anyone tried to use this for Laptop? I have 16" laptop that I need to bring on daily commutes.

Yes, I use this bag for my commute to and from work. I have a 17 inch laptop which fits nicely since the bag itself forms a nice rectangle shape when fully loaded. I place the laptop at the top of the bag after I have loaded my rain suit, work clothes (shirt+pants), and shoes.
