Doesn't live up to the reputation
There's plenty of great reviews of the Alpinestars Tech Aero backpack but they are for the older model. The new model did away with many of the features that made the reputation of the model. The helmet carrier is no longer secured with clips and adjustable straps but rather tiny plastic hooks on elastic fabric and flimsy string loops. The rain fly attaches with toggles and loops that look like they could tear out from just a sturdy gust of wind. The quick release strap is now just a tab on the adjustment buckle with "quick release" printed on it, it is neither quick nor a release. Fewer internal pockets, no more chest rig, and no more cable slot in the top pocket. This new model is a big step down and is not worth it's price.
