It offers 30 liters of capacity and like all Kriega US Drybags is a 100% waterproof drypack with an innovative design that attaches to the rear of a bike using included buckle loops and alloy hook straps. The US-30 comes with a removable padded shoulder strap, and even optional waist straps, for a secure fit while riding.

An anti-slip mesh base also doubles as a pocket to store the shoulder & waist straps or other sundries when the US-30 is attached to the motorcycle. 

The shoulder strap connects to the large D-rings at each end of the pack and the waist strap connects to 2 x tuck-away buckles at the corners of the mesh-pocket. (editor’s note: this design feature is probably used by a sparse minority of purchasers. Clip on the shoulder strap and call it a day!)

US Alloy Hook Straps allow tailpack combinations of up to 70-liters to be carried with confidence and convenience. 

Custom aircraft grade, 6061-T6 alloy hooks attach to the four discreet web loops located on the frame of the bike. Fitting method is particularly suitable for traditional one-piece motorcycle seats and bolt-on seat pads/racks, as well as standard seats. US packs can be mounted inline (portrait) or across (landscape) the seat. For use as a tankbag, a Kriega US Tank Adaptor is required.

The Kriega US Drypacks are built like 5-, 10-, 20, and 30-liter brick shithouses, respectively. Kriega has been making these unapologetically overbuilt, universal Drypacks for well over a decade, and the bags have a well-earned reputation for dead-simple functionality and ridiculous durability.   

Say goodbye to bungee cords, ratchet straps hacks, or rain covers, these beautiful bits of kit come with everything needed to install onto any motorcycle and ride into any sort of weather conditions.

Plus, US Drypacks are modular. Stack them like Legos in up to a 70-liter combination. These packs offer incremental carrying capacity to the back—or tank—of any bike. 

Construction

The exterior shell of these Drybags is made from Cordura 420D Lite and Hypalon—a hyper-rugged combination that’s stitched together so tightly, with such tough materials, that it’s thoroughly waterproof on its own.

But the real waterproofing promise of these bags comes from a wholly separate integrated liner—basically a seam-sealed water-tight bag-within-a-bag. Bonus points for that inner liner being removable for easy cleaning, and for the inner bag being white, so it’s easy to sift through your flotsam and jetsam. The liner can also be removed for easy cleaning.

Give this roll-top bag a couple turns and buckle it closed, and it can be confidently loaded with a laptop or any other delicate electronics and tossed into the nearest lake.  

Mounting

A beautifully simple strap system helps keep these bags locked-down securely to just about any bike—or to a tank-bag adapter (sold separately), or to other Kriega bags via extra built-in anchor points on every Kriega bag.

Each bag comes with 4 sub-frame loop straps for creating on-bike anchor points that will live discreetly on just about any motorcycle. Once installed properly (cinched down, loop backwards through the buckle to lock the strap, then and cut/burn to finish) these anchor loops take up all of 1” of real estate on a sub frame bar, but still offer loads of pull-strength. 

The bags themselves connect to these four anchor points via 4 corresponding 1” webbing straps—each equipped with a quick-connect buckle and tightening cam on one end, and an alloy G-hook on the other. The G-hook end slots into the subframe anchors, and the other end clicks into the female buckle on the bag. Cinch it down and voila—road trip time. 

Thoughtfully, Kriega has even included little plastic keepers on its straps to help tidy up any loose strap-ends from flapping in the breeze.

The subframe straps work with almost all standard motorcycle configurations, but if you have a fairing-clad sport-bike, Kriega also offers adapter kits for a select number of specific applications, such as Ducati Diavel and Panigale

Quality Guarantee

We’ve stocked these bags since we opened in 2012, and we can count the number of warranty claims we’ve seen on one hand. If you want more reassurance, each one comes with a 10-year stitching and craftsmanship warranty against the worst you can throw at it. Recently these US (Universal Series) Drypacks got a minor update, and now feature genuine 420D Cordura Lite fabric construction. Without exaggeration, the best just got better.
