style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/american-kargo\">American Kargo<\/a> Trooper is made with a heavy PVC backed 600D fabric to make it extremely durable and fairly water resistant.\u00a0 That is the same Denier found on most high-end textile riding gear.\u00a0 American Kargo is really proud of their Butterfly Harness that will keep the Trooper strapped to you.\u00a0 The Trooper\u2019s Butterfly Harness has multiple fit adjustments and wide surface area straps, which make it perfect for wearing around your gear.\u00a0 The Trooper comes in three colorways- Black, White and the brilliant Hi-Viz.\u00a0 The Retroflect found on all three gives you the added visibility you need in poor conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Icon Squad II<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the best fitting backpack for riding, the Icon Squad II might be at the front of the pack.\u00a0 Icon\u2019s comfort-fit chest closure system is a far and above improvement over the traditional shoulder straps.\u00a0 The added coverage of the straps not only hold the pack in place, but they also eliminate the cutting effect that regular straps can cause.\u00a0 Just like the Trooper, Icon\u2019s Squad II has pockets and compartments galore.\u00a0 It is electronic friendly with a laptop compartment and an mp3 player\/phone compartment with an ear bud cord management system.\u00a0 You will also find tool and first aid compartments.\u00a0 There is also a deployable helmet compartment and a special compartment for your extra helmet shield.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a
