Saved my skin... literally
Bought this pack, is fairly large and takes a little adjusting to get just right, but fits and stays where you put it. Can put a lot of crap in it, not too fancy, so if you're looking for bells and whistles, look elsewhere. Very durable. Good buy for the price for the protection alone.

good size
Good size but if you want more you need to take out the 2 metal parts out of the back of it which no one will tell you that it stands up so well. Also on a few hundred mile trip you need to make sure nothing is in the helmet part.

Fantastic pack!
This pack is great. It's height makes you sit up straight in the saddle, but that's good for your posture, right? :-) It fits great with the helmet in or out and has plenty of room for what I need in the pack with the helmet in. A great buy!

Great Pack
I have ridden with back packs before purchasing the Blaster Pack by Joe Rocket. The Blaster Pack is far superior to any pack I've used in the past. The features I like are the waist strap and chest strap. This really helps keep the pack positioned at speed. The pack is also huge in comparison to most packs. I am 6'6" tall and ride a ZX-14. The bottom of the pack rubs on the seat cowl a bit when I ride. I would think this could be an issue for a shorter rider. It doesn't bother me much thought. I would certainly recommend this pack to anyone interested. I think I would rather use this back pack rather than using a tank or tail bag.

Blaster Pack
It seems to be a ruggedly built pack and worth the cost. The only drawback would be the limited inside space due to the built-in helmet liner. It’s great for short trips around town, but would be hard pressed to fit more stuff for a longer run.

I Like
I like almost everything about this pack. The strap configuration is excellent. The pockets are excellent as well. The size is decent. I can get my Alpinestars street shoes/boots in with a full face helmet. However, I typically just carry shoes, coat, and gloves. The only downside is some of the finish details, such as stitching, could be better. And one strap seems to be a different material than the others. These are minor issues.

Nice Pack
This is a great bag for long or short rides. The helmet storage is good and it's lined with a nice material that doesn't scratch. A lot of storage space; however if you’re going to pack your helmet you will need to pack the bottom of the pack first because once the helmet is in it is hard to get anything else in. The straps are nice, thick and padded for comfort. Only downside to the straps are that if you don't buckle all of them there is no way to keep them from flapping in the wind. Overall I am very satisfied with this bag and I would recommend it to all my riding buddies.

Joe Rocket Backpack
Backpack is a good size but can be collapsed down for riding. It can hold an X-Large helmet with no problem. All around its just a very good backpack.

Great
The blaster pack is awesome for running errands with, grabbing a bit of groceries and the like. When you need a change of clothes, or something similar. The only negative I could find is the adjustable straps have no retention device meaning they blow around in the wind. Not a big problem though.

Good investment for sportbike riders.
The blaster pack is great to put gear in if you plan on taking a longer trip. The only negative about the pack is when it's loaded with gear you can't put your helmet in the storage compartment.
