Does anybody use one of these? My KTM tailpack has just let me down (failed zip) tools somewhere in the Peak district :cry: I have looked at the Kreiger bag, good quality but i prefer a lower profile bag.

I've got the Kriega us5 and it's very good.
My nephews Acerbis seems ok but looks a bit limited if you want to cram more stuff in it.

I am a Kriega fan though so maybe biased.

I have had two of the acerbis tail packs. I will not be getting another! If the contents are not ram packed in they vibrate around and rip the tail pack to pieces resulting in contents spread all over the great British countyside.

I now carry my spares in a rucksack and have not lost anything since.

the trick is to use a bungee around the outside, looks a bit pikey but not as bad as pushing your bike home because you cant fix it :(

I agree with the use of bungees after the same thing happened to my friend whose contents of his fender bag deposited itself all over the track that I was riding tail-end-charlie on. I use two bungees suitably shortened so that they're as tight as possible. I'd hate to lose any tools during a ride.
