Made from Cordura, this fully waterproof roll bag has a 40-litre capacity, and is ample in size for a week’s tour to Germany. A good option for luggage that should fit most motorcycles.

How practical is the Kriega Rollpack?

As with other Kriega that I’ve used it’s top spec and been well thought out. Rather than have one opening, it’s opens from both ends, which, provided you remember which end you’ve packed your kit, it works well. One area it does fall down is the lack of carry handle. When you’re off the bike it’s hard to man-handle the bag, particularly if it’s fully loaded, it can be cumbersome.

Does the Kriega Rollpack look good?

I opted for the bright orange version, so it stands out on the back of the bike, but it comes in more conservative colours should that be more your bag.

What’s the quality like of the Kriega Rollpack?

Fitting to the bike is easy, with a series of straps, that if needed, can be attached to the subframe. Seams appear to be strong and the bag is 100% waterproof, I got caught in various downpours on a recent trip and everything stayed perfectly dry. If there are any issues, there’s a 10-year guarantee, should the need arise.

How good value is it?

It’s not the cheapest bag on the market but you do get what you pay for and with experience of other Kreiga kit, I’m happy with the investment.

So what’s the verdict?

A great piece of kit and perfect for all those essentials when touring. There’s a smaller version, which holds 20-litres and costs £129, personally I’d opt for the 40-litre pack, as it’s better value for money and with it being a roll bag, the size is adjustable.

Tested by Justin Hayzelden for three months, 2400 miles:

"When it comes to hard wearing, top performing baggage, Kriega really know their stuff, and the Rollpack 20 is a perfect example of their well thought out approach to lightweight load lugging solutions – it’s versatile, durable and incredibly easy to use. In essence, the Rollpack 20 is a tube of tough 500 denier Cordura, with a removable waterproof liner and roll top closure at either end.

"Measurements are 75cm x 36cm laid flat, which offers 20 litres of kit carrying capacity. When loaded, the Rollpack 20 makes a neat pillow shaped bag that can be lashed to a back seat, rack, or anywhere else you can loop the four integrated straps, and quality metal cam buckles ensure everything stays tensioned once in place.

"I attached my camo Rollpack to the back of an Indian Challenger Dark Horse for a 1,800 mile tour of Ireland, and even with torrential North Atlantic driven downpours, not a drop of moisture made it inside."
