Kriega backpacks are designed to allow riders to customise them to their needs. Two new accessories illustrate this perfectly
The first is a Back Protector Insert, made for us by RHEON™️. The CE Level 2 back protector slides into the tailored pocket of virtually all current backpacks* and many previous Kriega backpacks.
To be awarded CE Level 2 the armour must offer enough protection to be used in racing scenarios, a higher level of protection than most road-specific armour. The RHEON Back Protector is manufactured from an energy-absorbing super polymer. It’s extremely soft and flexible in its natural state, but instantly stiffens when subjected to force or impact.
The full-length armour is also extremely light and flexible, making it almost impossible to feel the difference when fitted inside a backpack.
RHEON Labs utilise a mixture of geometry copied from nature and mind-blowing tech to deliver cutting-edge protection. Their Product Manager, Paul Farrar, says, ‘We use computational design techniques to ensure parts are optimised for their use. In this case we let data from the CE standard EN1621-2 drive the designs and give us the impact performance we need, but in a package that is optimised for maximum comfort – breathability, flexibility, softness, low profile and lightweight – giving the rider a better on bike experience.’
Fitting the Back Protector Insert into your Kriega adds not only an extra layer of protection, but also a peace of mind every time you pull on your backpack, whether you’re heading to work or leaving for a cross-continental adventure. You don’t even have to remember it, the Back Protector Insert is fitted and ready.
*Back Protector Insert does not fit the Kriega HYDRO2
Kriega backpacks are designed to accept hydration packs, making them a very popular accessory.
This new 2L Heavy-Duty Hydration Pack brings it inline with the 3L pack we have offered for sometime. It’s a robust and high-spec TPU bladder with an insulated tube, that gives protection in the toughest conditions. The Comet™️ bite valve self seals, and can be locked-off to prevent leakage. The bite valve also comes with a dust cover.
Additionally, the drink tube has a Plug-N-Play connector allowing quick detachment for cleaning, filling and fitting.
All current Kriega backpacks, and many previous ones, are hydration pack compatible. There is an integrated strap in the top of the bag’s compartment to attach them to, and the drink tube slides through a purpose-made gap where the QUADLOC-Lite harness strap meets the main compartment (see above), or through a specific tube hole on some backpacks. Kriega Hydration Packs come with a Hook & Loop Harness Mount, to fasten the tube to the backpack’s harness just where the riders wants it.
KRIEGA TIP
Between uses wash your hydration pack and put it in the freezer to keep it perfectly fresh for the next time you need it.
