Kriega UScombo30 Drypack System The Kriega UScombo30 is a 30-litre capacity (Kriega US-20 Drypack US-10 Drypack ) 100 waterproof tailpack combination. Innovative design solution secures the 'base' US-20 bag directly to the motorcycle sub-frame beneath the seat using included webbing buckle loops and Alloy Hook Straps. The US-10 stacks securely on top of the US-20, using a second set of included Alloy Hook Straps. The US-20 also comes equipped with removable shoulder and waist straps. It can be carried courier style, on or off the bike. The US-10 can fit on either side or on top of the US-20. Once connected together they can be removed as one single luggage 'block.' The Kriega UScombo30 tailpack is designed to fit most race-rep and regular style seat pads (all fitting straps included). The pack(s) are easily attached/removed via the included webbing loops / Alloy Hook Straps. No extra bungees or rain covers are required. The US-10 can attach to either side or on top of the US-20. To fit insert US-10 Alloy Hooks in the dedicated webbing loops on the lower side of the US-20 bag and cinch the US-10 down. Secure loose strap ends with supplied Strap Keepers. Once connected the two packs can be removed from the bike as one luggage 'block'. Kriega US packs can also be used effectively on motorcycle racks or metal pannier tops by attaching 1 x set of the supplied webbing buckle loops to the item in question and following the same prodceedure as fitting to a motorcycle. Features 100 waterproof main body RHINOTEK abrasion resiistant fabric HYPALON abrasion resistant re-enforcement DRYPACK removable, taped-seam liner (white) 420D nylon ripstop - lightweight yet extremely strong CNC milled, 6061-T6 alloy fitting hooks Acetal ITW Airloc buckles YKK water-resistant zips on side pockets Side access zip pocket (water-resistant) Coated-mesh pocket Shoulder waist straps (US-20) 2 x set of Alloy Hook Straps included 10-year guarantee US-20 - 400mm(H) x 260mm(W) x 190mm(D) US-10 - 330mm(H) x 220mm(W) x 125mm(D) 30-liter combined capacity Note The UScombo30 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.

First I want to start by saying that Revzilla is my favorite online store on the planet. I have purchased multiple items and they exceed my expectations every time.
I bought the Kriega UScombo 30 Drypack System a few weeks ago and put it work over the weekend.
We put on 1000 miles over three days 50%-60% of the time was raining. I can honestly say with my experience that most products that claim they are waterproof don't end up being but Kriega is.
I did not have 1 drop of water inside my Kriega Drypack. Absolutely amazing!!! There were times it was raining so hard I felt I was under water and there was no sign of moisture inside either Kriega bag.
My only issue was with the install now I would guess this would not effect 99% of the riders but my 2012 Aprilia Tuono does not have a lot of options under the seat. I ended up strapping it to the rear pegs and again on the tail section let left I nice scratch. Totally my fault, I rushed to because to the amount of rain that was falling from the sky.

Congrats to everyone at Bell. The fit is absolutely perfect. The first time I used it was a track day with California Superbike School. Air flow is amazing. Aerodynamics second to none.
Shoulder checked a couple of times at high speed and the helmet didn't move. As far as I can see they thought of everything. The only challenge I have is that I wear glasses when I ride and it can be a challenge to get them set in the correct position. I believe that will improve in time.
That said, I believe the Bell Star helmet is the best on the market right now.

Icon Variant Helmet - Solid Survival is a matter of enhanced situational awareness - an unforgiving maze of gravel strewn corners and malevolent steel. Comfort, vision, protection. Introducing the Variant helmet from Icon. A wind tunnel refined shape, executed in a Fiberglass/ Dyneema/Carbon matrix, along with an dual-density EPS core provide critical impact energy management. Extensive venting and a removable Hydradry wicking liner provide increase comfort by reducing rider fatigue. The anti-lift visor directs and channels airflow as it reduces the glare from an unyielding UV assault. While the extended eyeport and zero distortion optics provide unrivaled field of view. If the streets are your area of operation - equip yourself for the fight. All world standard, meets or exceeds the following dot fmvss 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia) and SG (Japan) safety and testing standards. Does not ship with SAI or SG certification stickers.

How does the sizing compare to entry level helmets?

In particular I'm wondering about the sizing in comparison to HJC (on/off road helmets). They are the only brand I've ever owned before, but it's time to move on. According to HJC's sizing, I should be a SM according to their size chart (just under 22cm head), but I ended up getting a XS because of the loose fit I felt with the SM helmet on. So, I'm wondering what difference in helmet shape makes in sizes.
Bell Star seems close to HJC in sizing. HJC fits me very well. I would just say that the Star line is a little more snug.
