Thanks for an excellent review! Definitely helped me in my decision to purchase one--I got the black one and am very impressed. I'm excited about trying it out this weekend when I do some single track. I also have a KLIM helmet (Carbon dirt bike one), helmet bag, their gloves (Baja) and a couple street riding summer jackets--as you said, it's not cheap but their gear is always very high quality. Thanks again!
I had the nakpak for many years, swapped for arsenal 15 and its amazing! especially for radios...love the mesh cover over remote radio mic for snowbiking/timbersledding. Hi viz is great for adv too, but mostly its dirtbiking pack!
Thanks for your comment, it is currently not available to purchase without the hydration system but we appreciate the feedback and will send it to the team.
Are u guys going to be selling the torso straps form the arsenal 15 chest harness separate then? Because I bought the Arsenal 30 backpack and I would love to replace the straps with the Arsenal 15?
Yes i was ready to buy the 30l version but I prefer the shoulder straps with pockets of the 15l edition. And no way to buy 2 bags just to make the right set up! In addition, in previous model of Klim bag, the belt strap was designed with pockets too, which were very convenient for small snacking, tissues, swiss knife, cable, batteries...
On the Arsenal 15, the storage volume is listed as 14L.Does that include the space a full 3L hydration bladder would occupy? Also, does the 14L include the slot between the kangaroo pouch and the main backpack? I'm guessing it doesn't, but it looks like a place where I could maybe slide my drone's case. Can you approximate the depth of the slot (ie - how far off from the main pack) it would sit if the main compartment is full?
Good question! 14 liters is the total capacity of the pack, meaning the hydration bladder would occupy part of that space depending how full it is. The kangaroo pouch would only be big enough for a small drone, and if your bag is packed full of hard items then it might be tough to cram a drone into the pouch.
Bummed as I’m leaving from Michigan to do the NVBDR/CABDR shortly and just received the Nac Pak only to find out my IPhone 12 with slim case won’t fit in the front pockets. Gonna have to send it back unfortunately as it was a primary reason for buying the Nac Pak Looks like Arsenal 15 would be perfect with the bigger front pockets but not quite available in time for the big trip.

I got the arsenal 30- I’m a big fella and it actually fits. A lot more comfortable than a camel, expensive but worth every dime!

Nice upgrade. More better Lukas! I like it :)
Excited to get my hands on one soon!
Yes please....
Rain cover should be blaze orange or hi-viz yellow as it will be lower visibility conditions when you are using it.
Currently have a the Nac Pack - These look great!
Hope you can buy these without the Hydration system

@@yanou8241 1000% yes. I would buy the 30 right now if I could get it with the 15's straps. I want my phone in that pocket up front for nav.

what is the recommended torso length for the 30?
