Really happy with this pack. Can carry the essentials including tools and once its strapped on I don't even notice it's on my back. Well balanced.
If I have any gripes, it's with the small packs on the front straps. They should be perfect for your cell phone but they are just a bit too small to fit a full size Iphone.
This pack was recommended by Brian. Great customer service!!
I have been looking for a larger pack with more hydration capacity. This pack fits the bill with plenty of room for snacks, tools, spare gloves and a wind shirt or rain shell. There is lots of adjustability so I can wear it over my Aerostich Falstaff jacket or I can wear it over my jersey and Leatt pressure suit. Its Klim so the build quality is excellent.
Atomic Moto was super responsive and kept me up to date on when I would receive my pack. Atomic is my" Go To" source for boots, gear, etc. Brain is straight forward with a wealth of gear info to help you get the gear that suits you best.
Thumbs up for Atomic!
While dealing with Brian on this purchase it became obvious I was dealing with a highly knowledgeable, old school motorcycle guy. It reminded me of the guys I would talk with 30 years ago who knew the products, all the products. Tell him what you want and he'll tell you what you need. And it will likely be just that. There's value in this service. The SG12's are a heavy duty boot. To the point I was asking myself " do I need this much protection?" After breaking my leg at the ankle waring my old boots the answer was clearly yes. There are going to take some getting used to no doubt about it but you will have THE best protection money can buy. I can't compare to the Tech 10's because I haven't worn those. The Klim helmet Brian recommended is fantastic as well.
Brian suggested this helmet for the large opening, light weight and ventilation. It performed as advertised. Did my first race with it and had no issues. I didn't even notice it and that's what I want
Replaced my tech 10s with the Sg22s. By far the best boot I’ve had right out of the box and the option for half sizes is nice. Atomic moto was a great company to deal with and I will be making my next purchase with them.
