8. Bike Specific Backpacks (Kriega)

Let’s say your bike isn’t bungee-cord friendly. I know a few bikes I’ve ridden are definitely not. Or you don’t have saddlebags -- most sport bikes don’t.

When life hands you lemons, you make a backpack. A backpack specific to riders.

Kriega knows that comfort on the road is not something to be compromised. And that a sore neck and back is one of the worst things to have after only a couple of hours out there. For their backpack, unlike the conventional harness systems, theirs distributes the load carried onto the hips & chest, as opposed to the shoulders thereby preventing the neck strain.

Approx. $189.
