Yes, K kit looks good and deffo works well but it's a personal matter, just watch the safety of the strapping down ability

+1 I came to pretty much the same conclusion.
After buying some Kriega US (20 & 30) luggage a few years ago, I have to say that I haven't used them, which tells a story in itself. I find all the straps and hooks and bits and pieces fiddly and time consuming to fit and secure properly, it just takes too long to get up and running. The bags don't really work unless they're stuffed full either; they're much easier to cinch down when stuffed to the gunnels. You can't easily puts things in, or take things out without loosening everything which then takes an age to get right again. They are top quality though.
All this is why a tend to automatically reach for my LOMO top loading 40L dry holdall and a couple of ROK straps when I need soft luggage, rather than the Kriega stuff. It cost peanuts compared to the Kriega bags and is so much easier to use and the 40L Lomo bag bizarrely holds more than the US-30 and US-20 paired together (which should equate to 50L)?

I'd quite happily off-load my hardly used US-20 and US-30 if anyone's interested?
