ArcEnCiel Motorcycle Backpack Tactical Military Bag for Outdoor Hiking Camping Trekking - Rain Cover+Patch Included

My kids are a little older now...3ish and 5ish...there's no need for a diaper bag anymore of course. However, we do still need to carry a bag around and I had been looking for quite some time for a lightweight and durable bag. Something that wasn't too small and something that wasn't way too big in case my wife needed to carry it occasionally. i searched and searched and came across the ArcEnCiel 25L. i purchased the bag because of the excellent reviews it received and the helpful photos. i loved the fact that it had two bottle holders on the side. the mesh pockets on the side were big enough to hold the daughter's flip top thermos bottles (12oz) and even big enough to hold my hydroflask (40oz). of course it gets a bit heavy when my hydroflask is loaded but i normally use the pockets for the two thermos bottles for my girls. as far as the main compartment goes, it's big enough to hold about 2 sets of clothes for each child of mine plus a bag of baby wipes (kirkland brand). the main compartment has two areas. i'm not sure if this bag was meant for a laptop or not but i could see a smaller laptop fitting in there. there's not too much protection for a laptop however unless you surround it with some t-shirts or something. i'm 5'10" and this bag is not too big and not too small. i like the smaller compartments but they mainly hold my kids toothbrushes and travel toothpaste. there are some snacks in there too. we don't use the smaller front compartments as much but we have several nic-nacs in there like extra tissues, plastic forks/spoons, band-aids, etc. the normal stuff you would probably put in a "diaper bag" i guess minus the diapers and desitin. i'm very happy with this purchase and very much considering purchasing another one. however, the only probably i really have with this bag is the price. it's kinda pricey for what it is and where it's made. don't get me wrong...it's sturdy and seems like it will hold up for quite some time. however, i still think this bag is a bit overpriced as it probably didn't even cost half the price to produce. i really do want to purchase another one as a gym bag because i like all the compartments it has and i think it would be absolutely useful for all the stuff i normally have and bring to the gym. i just can't seem to bring myself to buy another one at the price point it's currently at.overall, i highly recommend this bag and if it weren't for the price, i would probably have another one by now.btw...it does have a funny smell to it like other reviews have mentioned. however, it does go away so as long as you're patient and don't really care, it's probably not a deal breaker. you can always wash it too...not sure how it will hold up in the wash though. good luck!

I put this lightweight medium-sized backpack through the gauntlet: Pouring rain, freezing cold, windstorms, mud, sand – days of extreme weather and hiking. The fit is perfect. The straps and support take the load off the shoulders and back. The zippers, clips, side netting and compartments are solid and well-designed. The whole backpack is waterproof (even without the rain cover, which is just an added bonus). The material didn't get stained or get tattered when I put it on dirt, sand, pools of muddy water, and the like. It protected my DSLR camera and tech gear during days of terrible weather, never leaking a drop. It arrived on time, looks cool, and performs better thand anything I've tried. Excellent product that is underpriced in my opinion. I highly reccomend it and may buy another color myself.

Bought for our son, who is a welder and it seems to be holding up to his tough and dirty stuff he putting in thereGreat qualityNo issues this far and he almost touched it a couple of times

Likes:• Well made. I’ve put it through some pretty tough situations, but it’s still as good as new so far• Roomy. If I stack the groceries in the right way, I can transport quite a few things, and a laptop easily fits in the large zippered pocket, and my wristlet easily fits in the middle zippered pocket• It has three separate pocket compartments: Small, middle, and large• There’s a strap that connects in the front over the chest, so it’s very secure when riding. There’s no way it would slide off my shoulders• I like the style of the backpack, but I also like a minimalist style in all areas of my life, so take it as you willDislikes:• There is not enough room to fit my helmet• If I fill up the large compartment, I can’t put anything in the medium or small compartments, because the large one took up all the space, but I’m sure it’s like that with almost every singe backpack in existence• As a female, the location of the chest strap is very inconvenient. It only squishes the upper part of my lady parts, so it’s really awkward when the lower part is either still bulging or flattening everything out altogether. I wish the strap was slightly lower so it could go against my rib cage insteadSide note: Being 5’3”, the bottom of the backpack rests on the seat of the motorcycle, sometimes pushing the top of it up above my shoulders. But for the most part, I still really like the backpack.

I use this bag daily whenever I ride my motorcycle to work. The pockets are well thought out and the amount of storage this bag can handle is pretty incredible. I have been caught in a heavy downpour and my clothes inside the bag got damp but not soaked, water resistance could be better however you could spray it with some Scotchguard and call it a day. I am 5'7" and 140 pounds and it fits perfect with my build. The one complaint I do have is the tightening straps for the shoulders will start violently slapping you in the chest when you get above 25mph. If they could redesign the bottom portion of it to something softer or make a pocket to put the straps in while riding it would be perfect. Other than that this bag is great!

I had looked at a lot of more expensive packs but didn't see putting out the money for a name brand. Most also came in 20L or 30 L. This 25L is a good size. Would have liked a double zipper on the large outside pocket. Would like a mesh pocket in the large outside pocked. Mesh is tight for a Nalgene but it's getting better with use. Size is good for everyday carry. Bag straps are at their largest limits on this 6'2" 240 guy but it fits. No waist strap. Chest strap is adjustable up and down.3 weeks in: Bag hang handle broke like many others have reported.

My son says it's a really nice bag. He travels exclusively via bike or now Ebike and it works for him
