Excellent sturdy pack (02.05.2025)

I’ve been using the Kriega Trail 18 for both daily commutes and long-distance rides, and it’s been a solid companion. Over proper motorcycle gear, it wears incredibly well — balanced, stable, and surprisingly comfortable. Over just a t-shirt though, it can get a bit rough on the shoulders. That said, the harness system is one of the best I’ve used. The adjustability and chest clip keep the weight off your back and let you dial in the fit perfectly.
Build quality is top-tier. Tough fabrics, quality zips, and a rugged feel all around. I actually came off the bike once while wearing it — no tearing, no failure. I’d transferred the back protector from my jacket into the pack, and it did its job during the fall. That’s something I didn’t expect to appreciate so much.
Storage is well thought out. The main compartments are roomy enough for daily gear, and the waterproof section is genuinely waterproof. What I use most, though, is the external mesh — ideal for stashing an extra layer or letting a wet jacket dry out on the go.
I also run it with a hydration bladder, and the setup just works. Routing is clean, doesn’t get in the way, and feels built for real riders.
If there’s a downside, it’s the price. But when you’ve had gear fail on you mid-ride, you realize that quality pays for itself.

Excellent job by Kriega here. Highly customizable with plenty of attachments. Waterproof compartments are huge and well made. The pack sits tight on your back even at high speeds, not to mention that it's very comfortable. I'm using the chest bag attachments, a great addition to an already perfect product. Highly recommended to any adventure both on and off road.

The fit is excellent, you won't feel this on your back. also overall quality feels good, this thing is built like a tank. Only thing I miss in this is separate pocket for your hydration bladder. Now the bladder is in your main pocket with all your other stuff.
