    Hi,

    I am looking to buy a rucksack that will fit my bike helmet. I've seen a Dainese one but I was hoping to get something a lot cheaper than €100. I only need it for if I get off the bike and want to explore a bit without carrying a helmet, so nothing fancy is needed, just something of convenience and big! Any ideas? Please and thanks!

    I have this, rarely use it now that I have a top box but it is plenty big to fit a helmet.

    Ok so it's a tank bag before it's a rucksack but as you can see it doubles as a backpack fairly quickly and easily. You might get more use out of this?

    Thanks Vikings,

    I will have a look online to see if I can get it any cheaper but it ticks the boxes. Was hoping for under the €50 mark, I thought someone might know of a big school bag! Bought a few oxford bits at motorcycle live yesterday, didn't even think of asking if they had something to put the helmet in, would have probably gotten a good price as well, ah sure. Thanks again!

    If that bag is what you want have a shop around, it's on amazon for £39 (€48) here http://www.amazon.co.uk/FIRST-TIME-EXPANDER-TANK-BAG/dp/B000R566LU/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1385635073&sr=1-1&keywords=oxford+first+time+tank+bag

    Use parcel motel and you can get it delivered for €3.50 (or free if it's your first time)

    I have the Knox 6-pack. It's ideal. It's out a while, so you might get it cheap.

    I went with an RTS bag, I was looking for something where the helmet would go inside the bag, a lot of them had a compartment that pulled out and the bag went in that, just looked a little awkward. It's no great shakes but it'll do for wandering if I don't trust locking the helmet to the bike, got it for £23 on sportsbikeshop.com, so happy enough :) thanks for the help, new on the bike scene so it was much appreciated!
