Kriega Overlander-S Os-18 Drypack

Description

Kriega OS-18 Drypack | 18L Waterproof Adventure Pack

The Kriega OS-18 Drypack is an 18-liter, 100% waterproof adventure pack, crafted from ultra-tough Hypalon™+ 1000D Cordura®. Ideal for expanding Kriega OS-Base systems, mounting to racks, or as a standalone tail pack for versatile, durable gear transport.

The Kriega Overlander-S OS-18 Drypack is a highly versatile and exceptionally durable 18-liter waterproof bag, engineered to thrive in the most demanding adventure and off-road environments. As a key component of Kriega’s innovative Overlander-System (OS) range, the OS-18 strikes an excellent balance between generous capacity and compact design, making it suitable for a wide array of uses.

At its core, the OS-18 is built from a formidable combination of materials: ultra-abrasion resistant Hypalon™ and 1000D Cordura®. This robust construction ensures that the pack can endure severe impacts, rough terrain, and constant exposure to the elements without compromise. The main compartment features a 100% waterproof roll-top closure system, further protected by a removable white liner. This liner not only guarantees your contents stay absolutely dry and dust-free but also brightens the interior for easier visibility of items and simplifies cleaning.

The design of the OS-18 is inherently modular and adaptable. Its semi-rigid SureGrip rubberized base incorporates integrated hook loops and straps, enabling numerous mounting configurations. It can be securely attached directly to most rear racks or used as a medium-sized tail pack using Kriega OS-RACK LOOPS (sold separately). However, its primary strength lies in its seamless integration with the Kriega OS-Base and OS-Platform systems. When combined with an OS-Base, two OS-18 Drypacks can be mounted as side panniers, creating a robust, rackless adventure luggage solution. They can also be hooked onto an OS-Platform for quick-release functionality or positioned as a central top bag on an OS-Base to significantly increase overall carrying capacity.

Beyond its main compartment, the OS-18 includes strategically placed ‘Loop Mounts’ which serve as attachment points for additional gear or smaller Kriega OS-6 or OS-12 Adventure Packs, allowing for further customization and organization. The use of aircraft-grade alloy hooks and heavy-duty Acetal cam buckles ensures rock-solid attachment, preventing any movement even over the most challenging terrain. Integrated Hi-Vis details enhance rider safety in low-light conditions, and shoulder strap loops allow for an optional OS-Shoulder Strap to easily convert the pack into an off-bike carry bag.
