Soft Luggage maker deemed the Channel, Krieger is gradually moved to France. We tested the backpack on R25 over a year, in any weather and the verdict is clear: the Krieger R25 is part of the best of its kind!
Number of users of PTWs daily use a reflective backpack and often are content with a model bought in supermarkets or sports store.
For occasional trips, but this may be enough under intensive annual use or to go on a trip, this type of product quickly admits its limits: perfectible sealing risky posture, endurance and strength limited …
In such conditions, backpacks specifically designed for motorcycle and are therefore better suited Krieger, a well-known manufacturer in England, made his specialty.
Krieger R25: The Range Rover motorcycle backpacks
Sober, if not austere in its unique black hue, Krieger R25 is one of the bestsellers manufacturer in the UK. It is suitable for everyday users because, with a capacity of 25 liters, it can accommodate a laptop or something to go to a gym.
Much more innovative in contrast, Quad loc its patented harness system provides excellent support while completely freeing the movements at the shoulders. Once settled, the side headgear reflective straps adjust the backpack as close to the body and the setting is very accurate.
We discover the relevance of this system virtually allows forgetting the presence of the backpack … everything being relative; it obviously depends on its load. Tested on many bikes, the trail to the sport, the Krieger R25 has always offered excellent ergonomics.
Among the storage tips developed by Krieger include a concealed pocket in the outer flap of the backpack and another, inside, slipping to a computer or tablet.
The harness incorporates Quad loc meanwhile removable pocket called Kobe. As the backpack, she uses a waterproof YKK zipper. Effective, it still requires the use of a small zip lock type waterproof bag for rain days.
The R25 has finally coating ergonomic comfort and participating in an internal pocket that can accommodate an optional back CE approved Level 2 or pocket at Camelback water type.
After a year of use in all weathers, the backpack Krieger R25 has retained all its qualities. Harness side straps and zippers are intact and the bag remained relatively impermeable. At most Reflective parts have they lost their luster.

Backpack with reflective tape for camping
The drawbacks are the cross of these advantages, and can be summarized in one: completely sacrifice comfort and functionality against the provision.
A good example is Trail Running backpacks. To avoid being disturbed in the least, they are designed as a safety vest. Clearly, any professional or advanced amateur competition day, you receive benefits.
It is also clear that ordinary users will suffer more during their training or mountain outings, the discomforts and prices to be paid by the high performance benefits obtained from it.
Here we test the backpack Trail Vest Light, Camp of the Italian brand. It is very light, it is designed for performance, but when choosing the design thought of a combination vest and backpack load. It is less radical, less tight, but more comfortable.
Some of us have tried in competition with excellent results, being better the longer the test, due to their capacity and comfort, but its use is extended to all those who enjoy mountain races in a more popular form both participating in them as training or going to the mountain.
We have chosen a very special testator, which can be a symbol of the popular corridor. Thomas, 70, is commonly running trails, hiking and practicing. During his long sporting life, plus large practically climbing, mountaineering and skiing (he is the son of the founder of Mountaineers of Aragon and the scout movement in Aragon), has been a great runner who became runner Decathlon.
His passion for the mountains at his age remains intact, even participating in the Marathon Aneto (where use reflective backpack), and his experience makes him particularly appreciate these nuances that younger we sometimes overlook, concerning the difficult balance between enjoyment and performance.
This is the second backpack vest I use for my regular trips to the mountain to run and make long marches. The above was highly effective, but I must say that I was uncomfortable compression and small load; although I understand that for those looking for the podium or time to be effective, to me, at the end of time, it bothered me more than helped me, and that affected my performance and, above all, to my enjoyment.
When I first got the backpack Trail Vest Light, Camp, the first thing I felt is that the absence of oversized lateral adjustment, leaving the hands adjustment system chest and belly, me “overwhelmed” much less. I felt more comfortable backpack. It remained to be seen how it worked the subject in motion.
It notes that the size backpack. We must choose our own if we want to fit well.
When one hand the backpack for the first time strange. The brand claims that the backpack is 10 liters, but first thinks that capacity is lower because the back is very ergonomic. But then you realize that the front of the backpack has two pockets at the waist, two straps, and two cages and other hitches. I decided to start filling everything, and indeed, it is what fits in a backpack load of 10 liters. But yes: much handier.
The back has two compartments: a pocket on the side closest to the back for a hydration system 3 liters, independent and even that can be accessed without removing the backpack with reflective tapes, and farthest from the main compartment part body, which in turn leads two inner security pockets for important possessions: documents, money, etc.
It also incorporates an ingenious system to load the rods, which allows extracting without stopping. I will elaborate on this later.
Reflective clothing to guard your walking
Through the windows in the Lodz region snowing, it gets dark earlier. The police like too should wear reflective clothing. Walking has invisible threat.
Approaching the autumn and winter period, in Lodz Province in the morning it snows. Increasingly, it gets dark earlier and more frequent adverse road conditions. In Lodz and the surrounding area every year there are several hundred accidents involving pedestrians.
Their cause is often inadequate visibility of pedestrians – says mobile. Joanna Kącka, a spokeswoman for the Regional Police Headquarters in Łódź. – It is often so that pedestrians walk the road shoulders in a dark suit and no reflective elements. The problem is that such proceedings are putting their, and only their safety.
For this, it reminds com. Kick, wearing reflective elements is mandatory. With their lack of a pedestrian who moves after dusk outside such areas, may pay a fine in the amount of 20 to even 500 gold says a spokeswoman for Lodz police.
The dark jackets and coats for the winter bought a Polish standard. Grays, blacks and browns placed to rain and snow, because, of course, do not require such frequent washing. Except that pedestrians in these costumes are risking more than you wearing bright colors.
After dark, in bad weather, pedestrian dressed in dark clothing is seen by the driver car from a distance of about 20 meters. If wearing bright clothes, it can be seen from a distance of 50 meters – says mobile. Kick. If we assume that the minimum stopping a car traveling at 50 km / h is about 30 meters and at a speed of 100 km / h – 80 meters, it may be that an accident cannot be avoided!
And calls – “reflectors are necessary, they can save lives.”
Walking with reflective elements will be the driver noticed from a distance greater than 150 meters. Therefore, the reaction time will be much longer and the risk of accidents smaller.
How to “shine” effectively?
It is not enough to have a glare; you still need to know how to use them, to make them most effective.
We must remember that glare is best to assume as low as possible says mobile. Kick. – The headlights do not illuminate the entire body of pedestrian, usually are set at a height of about 25 centimeters. Therefore, the lower will be set up reflectors, the faster it will fall on them headlamp of the vehicle. As a result, the operator will have more time to react – says a spokeswoman.
Therefore, in the first place reflectors should be submitted to the lower parts of clothing, such as boots, trousers or pants cuffs.
It should also be recalled that it is not enough to set up glare solely on the child’s reflective backpack, because they are only visible to those following behind him, and not for drivers from both directions – like phones.
Police appeal not to underestimate the obligation of wearing reflectors, because pedestrians are victims every fifth road accident in Poland. The worse the weather conditions, including a higher risk.

We look forward to renewing our clothes, to buy us new clothes that make us feel more beautiful and interesting, and, of course, sports also, better with reflective tape. the time to leave behind the gray and dark clothing has come, let some color more alive to lift our spirits and remind us that spring is about to arrive.
