JFG RACINGMotorcycle Backpack Hard Shell Carbon Fiber Pattern Waterproof Back Pack Saddlebags Riding Hardshell Storage for Men Motorcycle Accessories

You never really know that you need a product until you have the product! I highly recommend this for anyone as a gift who is a motorcycle rider! Super sturdy shell design is not only amazing in case of accidents/wrecks but it is also very spacious! I use this literally every time I want an excuse to get out of the house to go "grocery shopping" xP. Easily fits two to four grocery bags worth of items. Has plenty of room and pockets for things such as a helmet or a laptop or a phone. I love it for its storage but at the end of the day I respect it for its capability to minimize back injuries from wrecks. Knock on wood I have never had a motorcycle wreck as of now but I would feel that much better wearing this beforehand in case it happens. This needs to be a gift for every motorcycle rider you know! I never thought of needing such a thing until I saw a close friend wreck. A product such as this would have saved him a tremendous amount of injury/healing time. In comparison to similar products you cannot beat the price for this one. Also it is very water resistant I have personally wore this when it was raining extremely hard and nothing inside was wet.

I've been using this daily for over a month. It's at a very good price compared to cyclegear/revzilla. The zippers are good. The inner pockets are good. My 15" laptop fits but it's a little tight. I have packed it full many times and it remains pretty comfortable.The only criticism I have is the across the torso straps are not long enough, assuming you are wearing gear. They are tight when loaded and I am wearing gear/layers. I am slim build.

The bag fits comfortably, when riding you don’t know it’s there. That being said, I expected a little better for a $55 backpack.The bad:Stitching strings threw outSmall dents in the carbon fiberOdd glue stains in the fabricSome bad stitching lineupsAnd one of the zippers on the main pouch doesn’t work. It will travel to the other side, but only close the zipper in about 3 spots. The other on the same zipper works just fine.The good:The straps feel solidthe buckles fasten securely and feel quality.It’s comfortableAs advertised, it produces very little to no drag. I forget it’s there.Lots of pockets to keep things organizedAnd it’s less than half the price of the bag it’s trying to be.When it comes to the odor other reviews have mentioned, it is there. It smells like an industrial glue, I see how it can be offensive. But it didn’t bother me. I opened it all up and hung it in the garage over night. After the first ride the odor was gone.Over all I’m very satisfied with the purchase. I would buy it again.

It's Kool lightweight and verry Kool great value

The aero shape of this thing does, in fact, work great for making the backpack not catch the wind. Other backpacks I've got and tried tend to act almost like a parachute and pull on you badly at times, especially with crosswinds from the side on the highway. With this, especially if you don't have a ton of heavy stuff in it, you literally can forget it's on your back after awhile. There's also very minimal stuff hanging off the bag, so there's not a slew of straps and things flapping around in the breeze to make noise or whip against you or anything - a "tactical" pack I was previously using would about beat me to death with all the hangy-offy strappy thingies on it.This bag does have a fairly limited amount of space to work with due to its shape, which was kinda expected. Without using the expansion feature, I can fit a small lunch bag, my uniform pants, and my uniform shirt in here ... and that's it. You can maybe slip a few thin things into the semi-useful pocket on the opening flap, but doing so makes that stick out enough that it limits what else you can put into the main compartment and/or it makes the back of the pack jut out and dig into your back. Works super slick for carrying a few original-cased DVD's and such, though, and even keeps papers from getting all wrinkled up. Forget the shoe loop things inside, unless you're carrying ballerina slippers, because you won't have room for anything else.If you unzip the expansion, you can get a lot more stuff in there, but at the cost of making the bag a bit uncomfortable against your bag (the shape feels weird against your back then) and it sticks out farther, meaning it catches more wind and can pull you around. Good feature to have, however, for lower-speed trips, like around town at 45 MPH and slower.The straps aren't really padded and can kinda dig into your shoulders depending upon what you're wearing, but they do seem to be made of pretty durable material, so they're not going to snag upon things or rip like those mesh-lined shoulder straps that most backpacks use nowadays. The waist strap is removable and can additionally stabilize your pack, but I've never found it to be necessary beyond the shoulder straps and the chest clasp, which already do a great job of distributing the load and keeping it secure, so I just removed it and stashed it away. Be aware that the adjustment on the shoulder straps is limited and, while I'm not a big guy at all, the center clasp maxes out adjustment pretty easily. If you're a big person, either broad-shouldered or fluffy, then this bag likely won't fit you, especially if you're wearing a riding jacket of any kind. I'm a medium-sized fella, and with most of my riding jackets (particularly my winter leather), the shoulder straps are almost at their limits of adjustment.FWIW, I disregard the rain cover because I never (voluntarily) ride in the rain; instead, I use the little storage pocket for for the cover for a multi-tool and flashlight in case of emergencies and such.Yes, I know this bag is a blatant rip-off of a certain name brand - so much so that it even has the logo of that brand on the bag (but not the actual brand NAME printed anywhere) - but their stuff is made in China as well, anyhow, and that name brand bag is like 3x more expensive than it should be in the first place solely because they like to charge people extra for their branding. Having compared this to the real deal side-by-side at a local store, I can't really see any obviously big differences between the two that justify the "real" one costing 3x more, so this is appropriately priced for what it is and is an EXCELLENT bag for commuting and around-town duties.The fact that the zipper for the bag is against your bag is also a BIG plus in terms of security, so this might even work good for folks wanting a backpack that some pickpocket can't just easily dig around inside while you have your back turned to them. Y'know, at college or public events or the park or whatever.UPDATE (09/09/19): Lowering the rating to 3 stars now. After a few months of gentle but frequent use, both straps started coming apart where the nylon webbing strap attaches to the lower part of the shoulder straps - the material was just completely disintegrating. I worried that one of the straps would potentially let go while traveling at highway speeds, which could slip off halfway and shift my weight unexpectedly - VERY unsafe - so I wound up giving it away. Instead of running the stitches for those connecting points all the way through the shoulder straps, it only was stitched into the outer layer, which was what started to simply shred itself. Only carried my uniform shirt/pants and a small lunch bag with two 20-ounce bottles of water and a sandwich container, sometimes an extra 32-ounce water bottle, so I was by no means overloading the bag with anything super heavy. VERY disappointing, because up until then, I was really loving this backpack. Comparing this to the name-brand version, the stitching on the name-brand one is much more secure and less likely to come apart, so perhaps that's where the compromise lies. Buy the name brand if you want it to hold up over time; buy this knockoff if you don't plan to use it often or if you're okay with buying a new one every few months.

Awesome quality and can fit most helmets inside it! Plenty of room. And works as great as it looks

I wanted a backpack for the gym so I could put my helmet in it. It fits only that which is fine. I carry my workout stuff then take it out and put my helmet in. I like how it just expands. I am not sure about all the straps I use this as a backpack, I have not yet put it on my 3 wheeler, I have a can am Ryker so it would have to get tied down to my Max mount. I also like that it came with a lock that you can program. It is also very light and I like that. There is an outside pocket with heavy duty velcro which is convenient for your wallet, there is also another zippered pocket on the inside. The ties on the insideare good for clothes and such but not to go over the helmet. So far so good. I do wish it had a chest strap but I am sure I can figure something out with all these straps, lol
