Anyone got the Triumph one?

I've never tried putting a helmet in it so I'm not sure on that one, it would depend on if it's a half, 3/4 or full of course. You might be able to manage a full but I'm not sure. I do know it holds 5 6packs though.  There are parts of it that are waterproof and parts that are not. The very outside of the pack has a flip over velcro flap which obviously isn't but it also has a laptop pocket (that will fit my monstrous Lenovo W700) that is fully waterproof including the double sealed zipper (I've been through some bad rainstorms with my laptop inside with no issues at all). It also has two water bottle pockets on the sides and dedicated mp3 player pocket. It's got the chest strap which helps a lot as well. All in all it's a very good backpack and I'd highly recommend it other than me not being sure on the helmet question.
It is pricey though at about $150

I have one attached to my bike (US25 ) and after a 100 miles stint up the motorway in pouring rain the stuff in it was bone dry. But then thats what the bag sales dude said it would do.

Very well made too.
They provide straps for motorcycle mount and for use as a rucksack.
