Best backpack for sport bike?
As the title suggests, looking for your recommendations for a comfy backpack that doesn’t catch too much air when in a tuck.
Thanks!

i rock the Peak Design Everyday Zip Backpack 15L.
The shoulder and cross chest straps are excellent, the shape is great, the modular “shelves” are cool, and you can open from the sides. Big zipper pull loops, and the shoulder strap sinches are easy to tighten and loosen with gloves and a jacket on. My only complaint is it does not allow for a waist strap, but i’ve never had a movement issue. It’s not cheap, but PD makes quality stuff and have a pre owned marketplace on their site.

For sure! i have a few luggage items from them, all of which I love.
Check out the phone mounts also. Way more sleek than the quad lock or ram mount and much easier to use. I have the handlebars mount style on my harley, and the stem mount style on my honda cb. even over 100mph they hold on tight. just have to buy their phone case. highly recommend

I’ve been advised against mounting the phone on the bars because it damages the camera. Plus I can’t find anywhere to mount a phone in this bike. There’s like no room lol

Ya you need a mount that has a vibration isolation, which theirs has. What’ll bike do you have? most sport bike have an open stem for their stem mount

I use a USWE hydration pack with the monkey harness. Doesn't bounce or move, stays on my back and I load it with my tools, zip ties, shit etc so it's my Moto grab bag.

Kriega is a great brand, can be pricey but I everyday with mine and wouldn’t look in any other direction. Durable, quality materials, and tons of customization in the straps to get the perfect fit. I have the max 28 and really like it. Tons of space and they have lots of different bags to fit different needs. Very well reviewed and respected company as well.

Ride your ride friend, sounds like a blast. My co worker is a track coach, Ex racer, and all around educated rider and he also suggests the kriega line of backpacks. Check ‘em out!

Ogio d mach 1, 3 or 5. It is a contour for riding spoet bikes. But it is not waterproof. And it only can be open when the backpack off. As it has a secuirty design. I have the d mach 5 branded for dainese. It worked well on my h2sx at 260kph.

The Mach 5 is the one I was eyeing.

It is a good bag for sport bike riders that tuck. It holds it sharp and works like a speed hump lowing drag and it wont flop around like fabric bags. But the mach 5 is a big bag. The mach 3 is a bit more compact and easier to live with.

I just bought a Matein travel pack from Amazon. My wife has one and I tried it out. Great, tight comfy fit, can hold a laptop with good protection, plus room for other stuff. Probably won't hold up well in a slide but I'll take that risk.

Really up to preference, mine is about 5'5", red hair, pretty eyes. Wouldn't go much taller. Make sure they wear a helmet.
Hahaha excellent!
I prefer blondes with big enough air bags that when I'm tucking, they're upright.
