Have ya not thought about a tank bag instead? Plus they are a lot safer in the event of an accident.
Because they are attached to your bike instead of your back? I witnessed it in my youth when a mate came off his moped on the way out of college. As he came off the bag caught on part of a speed bump and stopped his dead (from around 20mph) the force from the straps snapped his collarbone and the bruising/welts were insaneI know that he was probably just unlucky that it caught but I prefer not to take the risk.
Similar thoughts re not taking a risk. My back protector was designed to function without a back pack - I like my back.
Have you considered a tail pack or throw over's, tail pack useful for solo use.I was knocked off by a car with a large backpack on, had a couple of spanners in the bottom, flew over the cars boot and somehow the spanners lined themselves up perfectly with my bottom (they were ring spanners) not an experience I want to repeat
