Back pack

Amber Lamps · 03-13-2009, 07:53 PM

Hey Neebs new backpack got me thinking about my own and I might want to buy a new one....on the cheap of course!

I found this one for $25,does anyone have any experience with the Fly Racing Moto Pack? That looks like a Camelback compartment to me on the back btw.

I desperately needed a backpack for my sled. I got a green Fox Racing backpack for 40$ (probably stolen, but I dont judge OR ask questions) brand new off ebay. My last fox bag was absolutely awesome. I paid 100$ at the dealership for it, but it lasted me 7-8 years, and is actually still 100% perfect as far as seams and stuff go, but the black is faded grey, and the grey is faded white, and theres one broken buckle. Thats why I wanted another, cause it lasted so damn long. You get what you pay for.

No experience with the Fly, but it looks pretty cool.
Thing is, unless you can get a look at one in person, you have no way of knowing how the actual storage works out and how well the seams are stitched.

True but it's an $90 bag to begin with...

but it has to be better than the $10 Walmart special I bought last Summer.

I got a $20 wally world backpack and it's worked quite well. I put in an extra pair of gloves, rain suit ( if it might rain ) , a stainless coffee thermos and my 1/2 gallon waterjug. Nice and comfy and plus it has refelective strips on it too.

No waist strap but it does have a chest strap. That seems to keep it secure.

I can always put it on my backrest too.
