Reviews Sometimes you'll find hidden gems in the bargain basement...
Customers have shared their experiences with an RST backpack, highlighting diverse opinions. Some found it ideal for commuting with comfortable straps and ample space, while others noted issues with waterproofing and durability. The bag's practical features like side pockets, laptop compartments, and adjustable straps were praised. However, a few mentioned minor annoyances such as flapping straps and a lack of waterproofing. Overall, many found it to offer good value for the price, despite some limitations.
It is a very good bag. Secure and large, but also not too complex inside that the space is taken up by loads of pockets. 2 main internal compartments, can secure a laptop in, and can also fit in a litelock moto.
What's not to like? I'm a bit of an RST fanboy. For the price I think it puts more expensive backpacks to shame, there are lots of pockets to store stuff, a. Laptop pocket and a drinks bottle holder too, it's very comfortable when use as a " normal" backpack but I wear this with a hard back protector in my RST jacket which I'll be swapping for a more flexible one so can become uncomfortable after a few hours riding
Bought this to replace side panniers, as mostly just do overnighter, plenty of space for change of clothes and toiletries at a great price.
No used it yet.
Well made, does exactly what I wanted.
Brought this as hand luggage on a plane (just the right size) as we are hiring motorbikes abroad and need it to function as a backpack too. Great style, good size, well made and low price.
SportsBikeShop are my go to for all bike related stuff. Great prices and a returns policy that gives peace of mind.
Good straight opening backpack although don’t put anything heavy ish (change full wallet) as the internal stitching on the top pocket is not up to much and I found the wallet in the bottom of the bag. Normally I would return it but I really cannot be bothered with the hassle I’ll see it up myself.
Otherwise another good RST product but given the pocket issue longevity remains to be seen
Bought this bag to replace another rucksack that's seen better days. It's very well made, the rucksack has a quality feel about it, just a shame it's made in China. The small zip pocket is really only big enough to accept small items. You might just get a smartphone in it, but not much else. I think that this will last for some years.
Wish I'd have bought it the day after Boxing day, rather than the day before Christmas eve, as the price went down further.
Decent size rucksack, plenty of padding on the back and the straps keep it snug against my back.
Brought for commuting on a bike, perfect size.
At this price point this should be the most affordable but high quality backpack on the market. Very good zippers, strong materials , comfortable straps. Also there is laptop space. Still not had chance to try it on my bike, but first impression is excellent. Can't wait to ride with it!
p.s. Purpose for I buy it is to put my clothes and trainers for workout. It seems that will do the job :)
Amazing value for money, feels very premium, feels extremely comfortable and the straps make it feel very supported around your body.. not the biggest capacity but I can get everything I need in there for a long ride
Bought this on the back of the review of the years and not disappointed. Great backpack, really comfortable and enough space as a commuter bag.
Nice size, fits well and good quality
Very well made and I forget I'm even wearing it, great for putting water proofs in, definitely would buy again
Good backpack. Waist and chest strap effective and feels compact and usable.
Could have more space but more than enough for daily carrying.
Purchased the back pack to carry some bits in whilst on a tour of France, Switzerland and Italy. Really comfortable to use with the chest and waist straps making it nice and secure.
It is most definitely waterproof as we took several soakings. Would recommend without hesitation.
Saw this in store seems well made for my commute, plenty of room inside,not tried in rain yet.
For that touring rider wanting a little extra packing space, the RST Raid Backpack partners perfectly with the X-Raid and Raid collections with a carry capacity of 22.5L, multiple inner and outer pockets, chest and waist restraint straps as well as 20D jacquard fabric.
The bag is not listed as being resistant or weatherproof.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
