Helmet Backpacks
 

I hate the helmet lock on my Ninja 250. Trying to find a better way to store it while I go walk through the mall, store, dinner, etc...

What kind of backpacks do you use to hold your helmets and additional items?

icon squad pack

Hey I'm in the market for a backpack too, Evil has the squad model been discontinued? I went up to the website and didn't see it (although there are still retailers carrying it)


Cheers!

i got a kick ass deal on mine from www.speedwerks.com i think it went downbut seemslike its going for70 and 80 bucks now, i dont remember if it was 99 when it came out or 79.

What I don't like about the squad backpack is when I put a helmet in the pouch, it looks and feels really stupid walking around with it on. The Urban tank bag IMO works much better for carrying a helmet. At least people can see it's a helmet under your pack instead of some weird looking bulge.

For those who don't know, the Icon Urban tank bag has an unfolding back flap that holds the helmet on the bottom of the bag. You can watch a demonstration of how it works on icons website. I forgot to take pics of the helmet attached to the bag, and I'm too lazy right now to go take pics.[8D]

Here are all the bags compared to each other for size purposes.

Thanks for the additional info....I almost bought a Mobile Edge Securepack, but they are pretty much sold out everywhere I look. They've been getting rave reviews.... http://www.mobileedge.com/items_him....d=3&pid=64

I may just go with the Icon Squad if I get tired of waiting.....

Hahaha. It holds so much stuff though. It's large enough inside to hold my running shoes, a full size bath towel, swimming trunks, running shorts, extra t-shirt, couple bottles of water, and a few other things all at the same time. Basically everything I need when I go to the gym at night.

Alright, I took some initiative and snapped some new pics.

Here is the Urban tank bag upside down with the flap opened. The four small
magnets on flaps will fold into the bag to hide away:

Here is the helmet on the main cover about to be strapped in:

This is the helmet locked into place:

Towards the top is a hidden zipper containing a pouch that holds the backpack straps. The end of the straps hook
onto a D-ring on both sides of the bag:

Finally, the tank bag has been converted into a backpack. Easy to wear, and it doesn't look out of place:
