    Not for me. It looks very bulky how you have to wear it like a vest over your jacket. Seems like it would be hard to fit over a jacket, and a real pain to take off fast as well. Looks pretty involved. Kinda looks neat in a madmax kinda way though.

    he goes on and on about how much he likes it.

    My boss has one. It can hold alot and be different packs at different times but I also think it is a bit much for me. I like the Less Drag or No Drag backpacks made by OGIO...very clean and aerodynamic. But, packs are a very personal thing. Personally, I LOVE packs and bags...I have quite a range to cover all my activities (bicycling, motorbiking, hiking, camping, regular travel, etc.). They represent the huge world of possibility of fun to me.

    It just looks so secure! It's hard to find packs that will stay glued to your back comfortably. And have a laptop compartment to boot!!

    That thing is crazy! I guess the arm straps are good to show off your muscles? :lol:

    I like it, if i had to have the reflective color for riding on base that is.

    I have an older alpinestars pack that should outlive me.

    I have an ICON jacket & pants. Both of them have had the zippers repaired & every single snap on both items has pulled out of the fabric. Their stuff looks good & for the most part works adequately enough for the streets, but their quality simply IS NOT there. I'm done with ICON. I'm taking my future business anywhere but with them.

    KC-10 FE out...

    I've got an ICON jacket and I confirm what KC says about the snaps. I've had one rip out on my jacket but was able to repair it. The jacket performed fantastic and the two times was doing its job on the ground however. From what I have heard from others, ICON's stuff is more about show than performance.

    As far as that backpack is concerned... I kinda dig it. Im kinda curious as to what functionality those arm straps provide though.
