Hey.

I am looking for a bag that will hold my full face helmet onto the front off it for when am heading to the forest. Do you get bags with a strap on the front. I have seen other people with these bags so you must get them. Can you point me in the right directions. Thanks

    have you got a bag at the moment? most of them have a chest strap and a handle at the top, try the chinstrap through the handle and extend the chest straps as long as it will go then wrap them around to the front of the bag, loop around the chingaurd on you helmet and clip together.

    this works fine with the tesco hydration pack which can be had for about 6 quid.

    Camelbak Consigliere and Capo are both Free Ride packs equiped to carry a FF. Dakine I've heard are good also.

    Would also like something like this. Carrying a FF on the back of a trail rucksack is a right ball ache.

    I bought a trespass rucksack / hydration pack for snowboarding. I got a couple of the luggage straps (suitcase ones) and sewed them onto the pack, this let me carry the board on the bag.
    They also work great now for carrying knee / arm pads & helmet on the bike.
    This kind of thing http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&xhr=t&q=luggage+straps&cp=11&safe=off&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1680&bih=881&wrapid=tljp1313680989486012&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=8347149923970250223&sa=X&ei=YC5NTqzuH8SIhQeYkZj9Bg&sqi=2&ved=0CHUQ8wIwAQ#.
    You can just add them to any rucksack, saves buying a new one.

    soz not very clear and dont have a working camera at the mo..front means your front when you are wearing the rucksack

    there are 2 sets straps on rucksack which reach around both your waist and chest clipping at the front? the upper (chest ones) can be extended and wrapped round the back of the pack back instead.

    if they are long enough you can also loop each one around each side of the chingaurd on the FF before clipping together behind both pack and FF-this holds the FF securely to the back of your pack, if the chin gaurd is pointing up all you need to do then is loop the FF chin strap around the carry handle at the top of the pack.

    its not a particularly neat solution but it works :)

    I got this - http://www.surfmountain.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=37918 and i love it. It probably would fit a full face but as I don't have one i've never tried!
