Kriega OS Combo or Enduristan Blizzard

Hi Everyone,

I have done quite a bit of research on soft luggage for a 3 month trip next year. I am on a 250 so want to keep it light and small without paying silly money. I was set on the Kriega OS Combe 36 and couldn't find anything to match it bang for buck. I even know that it has been used on the same trip that I am planning with great reviews. Today though I came across the Enduristan Blizzard extra large 2x17Lt saddle bags. I didn't know that they came in a size big enough for what I wanted. Even though the a very slightly smaller (1Lt each) than the Kriega they have got my interest, especially as I can add bottle carriers. I also like the look of the Enduristan front fender pack to carry inner tubes and tyre levers. Has anyone had experience with the Enduristan Blizzard or other items of their luggage

Thanks

Can't speak for the Kriega, but I've used the Enduristan Monsoon for 2 long trips. Very, very good. Stayed 100% waterproof in some very testing conditions. Very well made. I recently bought the Blizzard XL for my little Honda (as the Monsoons are a bit big on the 250). Not used them yet, but again, they are very well made.

Hi

Thanks for the advice. May I ask which Honda you are putting them on and if you are going to use the Enduristan heat shield

Honda CRF250 Rally. I don't think a heat shield is necessary, but I've not used them on the bike yet, so not 100% sure. I use the Enduristan Monsoons on my XT660 Z with a rack. I like the Blizzards as no rack is needed.
