Kriega US-20 Drypack
100% waterproof — submersion proof, not just shower-proof. The Quadloc-lite harness system attaches in seconds without tools and locks immovably to your subframe straps. Constructed from military-spec Cordura 500D throughout. Twenty liters swallows a full-face helmet or two days of riding kit. Kriega backs every US-Drypack with a 10-year warranty because they build them to last 15. This is the last tail bag you'll buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kriega US-20 fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
Fully waterproof. The US-20 is built around a roll-top closure and welded Cordura 500D construction, so you can submerge the bag and your gear inside stays dry. It is not just rain-resistant — it is submersion-rated, which is why Kriega uses the term "Drypack."
Will the US-20 fit my bike?
The Quadloc-lite harness is universal and fits nearly every motorcycle — sportbikes, naked bikes, adventure bikes, and cruisers included. The included subframe straps loop around your passenger peg mounts or subframe. If your bike has separate passenger pegs and a tall tail section, two add-on straps may be needed for a clean fit, sold separately on Kriega's site.
How much gear actually fits in 20 liters?
A full-face helmet, a change of riding gear, or two days of touring kit (clothes, rain shell, and tools). The roll-top lets you add compression by rolling it down further when you do not need the full 20 liters, so the bag shrinks for smaller loads rather than slouching.
Does Kriega cover the US-20 under warranty?
Yes — every US-Drypack carries a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects and material failure. That is the company standing behind the bag they say is built to last fifteen years. If a seam fails or a buckle breaks in normal use, Kriega replaces it.
How do I clean and care for the bag?
Rinse with warm water and mild soap if muddy, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh solvents — the TPU-laminated Cordura holds up fine to road grime without special treatment. Periodically check the buckles and straps for wear, especially after a season of heavy touring.
