The R22’s eponymous 22 liters of storage is broken up into two compartments—an 18-liter roll-top main cargo hold; and a 4-liter zippered exterior pocket.

While not 100% waterproof, the 4-liter exterior pocket is highly water resistant, especially since it’ll be on the back of the rider who ought to be moving forward and thus shielding it from any rain.

But for non-negotiable waterproofing, trust the main 18-liter roll-top cavity to safely hold your laptop, camera, or any other hydrophobic accessories.

Construction comes right out of the Kriega playbook with 420D Cordura and Nylon Ripstop making up the chassis, reinforced with bar-tacks at every opportunity, a sprinkling of details (like zipper garages, certain panels and

Not enough room? Consider the Excellent Max 28, which expands from a svlete 22 liters to a full 28 liters, with a main cargo hold big enough to house a full-face helmet.
