Mosko was founded in 2013 when we (Pete & Andrew) left our jobs to make moto gear. Our partnership combines decades of design and manufacturing experience for some of the world’s leading outdoor brands, with first-hand experience riding dualsport bikes through some of the remotest corners of the globe.
Our name, Mosko Moto, is an abbreviation of "Mosquito Coast" (aka "La Moskitia"), a remote and sparsely-traveled region in Eastern Honduras and Nicaragua. Back in 2013, Pete was wandering around La Moskitia on his bike when he crashed in an isolated section near the Nicaragua border. It was a twist of fate moment because he returned to the U.S. to recover in the Columbia Gorge, and that's where he and Andrew - then the lead bag designer at DaKine - hatched a plan to start Mosko. A year later, after countless hours of thinking, talking, cutting, sewing, riding, and revising, Pete returned to the Mosquito Coast with prototypes in hand to retrieve his bike and ride it out to Panama.
Every aspect of our designs as well as the entire process of building our business is detailed online in real-time via our blog and ADVRider thread. By publishing rather than protecting this information, we collect direct and unbiased feedback from hundreds of dualsport riders around the world before our designs are finalized.
We only sell directly to riders—no dealers, no distributors. Motorsport retailers typically mark up a product by 50-100% over the manufacturer’s original price. By selling direct, we can deliver added value to the rider through premium features and top-shelf materials.
Today, our team includes 24 people based in the US and Europe. We're able to ship just about anywhere, and we're stoked to see our products in use by riders all over the world.

The goal from day one was to build a reputation for creating the highest quality and best designed products on the market, offering unrivalled standards of functionality and craftsmanship. It was a very conscious decision from the start to be a non-fashion brand that focused on producing function driven design that was not compromised or constrained by creating products to a pre-determined price. The first Kriega backpack was nearly double the retail price of the best alternatives available at the time, but the unwavering belief that anything designed with passion and attention to detail will work has ensured Kriega are now at the very top of the motorcycle market in terms of brand perception and user satisfaction. An often-asked question is where did the name Kriega come from? The brand actually started out being called Krug (in homage to the Wes Craven created character, later to become Freddy Krugger). As the first batch of Krug product arrived, so did a Trade Mark infringement letter from Krug champagne. Not the best of starts! The brand soon changed to Kriega but continued using the instantly recognizable K logo, and for some time the early "limited edition" Krug backpacks commanded premium prices when sold second hand. Since 2000 not only has the reputation of Kriega grown along with the product offering, which now includes a large range of rider packs, bike packs and accessories but so has availability with Kriega now available in over 40 countries globally and growing by the month! Regardless of the success so far the team at Kriega still have a passion for creating the very best possible luggage options for motorcyclists and truly believe that good design matters! Enjoy the journey! #ridekriega
