I've owned the pack for about 2 years and have yet to find one thing I don't like about it. It's well made with quality materials and much heavier duty than flimsy packs that don't hold their shape when empty. It'll swallow my large, full-face helmet, has a cell-phone pouch and a protective, removable visor bag for spare visors. There are stretch straps that buckle across your chest and hip straps that also buckle. The combination holds the pack firmly to your torso so there's no flapping or shifting. The back and straps are padded and lined with mesh material to help you stay cool. There's also plenty of reflective material to help you be seen at night. Probably the only negative would be lack of interior organizer pockets. Because it needs open space to hold a helmet there are no interior pockets. There are two on the outside, however, so it hasn't really been a problem. I would definitely purchase this product again.

Nice review.  Have you had a chance to try out the Tumi version of the helmet backpack?  Looks pretty nice.

I use the version (Cortech) that can lug around textbooks and a helmet at the same time:



Although I use it to carry my helmet with me at school, not a potential passenger helmet while riding. Not that it couldn't do that... And it's much thinner than the picture suggests. They must have really stuffed it.

i like the idea of carrying a helmet like that but i feel like its too annoying having something that large wobbling around behind you.

I take it you've never worn one of these for very long:



It's pretty secure. No wobbling unless you tried to jog...

ive gone backpacking before haha 

But im thinking about going to class and whatnot it would just be a hassle snaking your way through the seats with a helmet hanging off your back. 

To each their own. 

I cable lock my helmet to my bars (w/ a master lock retractable cable), but if Kreiga had an add-on for the R-25 to carry a helmet securely, I might have to get it.

I park next to a gsx-r on campus and that guy leaves his key in his ignition EVERY DAY. I'm guessing I don't even really need to lock my helmet (until the gsxr gets stolen and the thief takes my lid with him).
