Kriega alternatives

[peepae]

Anyone used the Rhinowalk bags on Amazon?

 

Kriega prices are a bit of a joke, I would buy them if they dropped 40-50 GBP maybe but £100 for a 10 litre pack is insane.

I use a 30l sw motech bag i got from SBS.

 

Definitely waterproof and comfortable to wear. It's quite big even for a roll top so depends on how much capacity you need. 

 

If they did a 20l I'd get it too.

 

I'm considering a bag by 3 peaks which is smaller but enough for work commute

Yes, . 

I have a 20l Kriega but didn't want to knacker it up on a trail riding holiday so bought a Rhino. In my opinion/experience, just as good at a fraction of the price

Lomo do a waterproof backpack, comfy and easy to use.  Can't remember the price but I've had it 2 years, I think the quality is good.

Got two lomo bags, one's six and the other's ten years old. Both are still going strong.

I've recently purchased some Rhinowalk for an upcoming trip. A friend has a Kriega and we compared the two and the Kriega has slightly heavier material, but not £100 better material.

 

How waterproof the Rhino's are, well I'll update on my return in mid October.

I use a Kriega R30 backpack when commuting to work, good bit of kit, but having said that I recently bought a Rhinowalk 30L tailpack and 10L tailpack. Although not a patch (Material Quality) on Kriega. I used both for my trip to Austria, kept all my gear dry and more importantly secured to the bike easily. Lots of Room in the 30L&10L tailpack, enough room for all my clobber  enough for 7-10 days touring.

I've got one of their 12-18L expandable tail / seat bags that I use when I don't want all the luggage on my R1250RT, but still have the odds & sods to carry. The quality seems okay, but nothing special but read what they say about waterproof carefully. Mine came with an elasticated PU coated nylon cover. Sure it'll stop the worst of it, but at speed rain creeps everywhere and it'll get through, under, around the edges somehow or the other:-

Been using Rhinowalk luggage for a year now. Three tours of Scotland (one in storm Kieran) and a tour of Wales in the summer and not once have I had water ingress. No fraying straps, nothing going loose. I put a washing up bowl in mine to keep the shape and aid getting stuff in and out by sliding the bowl in/out. Good value luggage.

I used a very cheap Rhinowalk alternative from Aliexpress, for 2 10L bags next to my 30L kriega tailpack, biblical rain in Italy and everything was completely dry.

 

These 2 10L packs cost 8 GBP each, and with the real one in the middle - you would not be able to notice the separate ones weren't kriega.
