Morning Andrew, I've got the 12lt. Never notice I'm wearing it. Lot of money up front, but I've had mine 8 years and still looks brand new. I've got a couple of their US packs that I stick all my gaming kit in. Never let me down.

Hi David, they’re so well engineered for comfort I’m not surprised that the 12ltr is so comfy, I’m loving mine and well worth the money 👍🏻

I have two Kriega rucksacks. One of them is the old brand “Krug” R35 and gets used every year for the TT trip. I’ve had it well over 25years (when they first came out) and it’s still as new condition. The other is an R25 that I use when I commute by bike. Had that one since about 2006 and as per the older one it’s still in amazing condition. They are definitely worth the money.

@@tweetchris46 got to say they’re top quality and at 64 I fully expect it to outlive me 😂

@@thecampingbiker791 I looked at how Much the current R35 is!!!!!! Wow, I paid £85 for mine new from an advert in MCN back when they first came out.

Crikey Andrew. Its very pricey for only a few litres of storage. Well out of my price range mate. I used a rucksack for the first time this weekend for the ABR as i had some beers to collect on route. It was a super cheap go outdoors 30ltr one with a dry bag inside. It worked great and was probably 120 quid cheaper than the little Kriega.

[@thecampingbiker791]

@@DDLovett yep, crikey is a good word for it 😂 and my Decathlon one has served me well, but I’m thinking long term travel plans and ability to carry everything of value in one place and to have front pockets for quick access when travelling…to be honest I spend money cautiously but if I want something that perfectly fits the need then it’s worth it, just don’t tell the wife 😂

@@neilwilliams9844 I’ve got so used to a backpack it feels odd without now 😂 Really appreciate the feedback, it’s a bit of a solo activity filming and editing, but to get such nice comments from you and the campsites helps to keep it going.. thanks for the support 👍🏻

Hi Andrew, I’m looking to buy the 9l backpack myself and I came across your video. Thanks for uploading. Curious to know if you are able to feed the bladder pipe through the backpack the other way around (the side that gets connected to the bladder goes through the small opening and then gets connected to bladder). I have a bladder with a similar bigger sipper from another hydration backpack and I was planning to use it on this keriga bag…if inserting the tube the other way around works for you, it should for me as well…

[@thecampingbiker791]

@@motorradlogs7357 thanks for watching.. yes, the only way to get it through is the smaller end that connects to bladder pushed through from outside to in rather than the mouthpiece pushed in to out (if that makes sense) the mouthpiece is too big to go through small gap. Easy enough when pushed through as described and when refilling can just leave pipe in even if completely lifting bladder out
