- the releasable connection may comprise a securing buckle.
- the base portion and the base of the main compartment may have a sliding fastener around the peripheries thereof adapted to secure the base portion in underlying relationship with the base of the main compartment, with the lower compartment and the securing strap portion contained therebetween, when no helmet is contained in the lower compartment.
- the carrier may have two shoulder straps extending from the top of the bag to the lower part thereof and intended to pass over the shoulders and under the arms of the wearer.
- the straps may be adjustable in length.
- the carrier may have a waist strap adapted to pass around the waist of the wearer.
- the waist strap may comprise two waist strap parts, each having one end thereof secured to the bag and having one of a pair of co-operating buckle parts at the free end thereof. At least one part of the waist strap may be adjustable in length.
- the carrier may also have a chest strap adapted to pass around the chest of the wearer.
- the chest strap may comprise two chest strap parts, each having one end thereof secured to a respective shoulder strap and having one of a pair of co-operating buckle parts at the free end thereof. At least one part of the chest strap may be adjustable in length.

To facilitate this, the flexible textile material of the lower compartment 25 is compressed and the securing strap portion 30 is folded with the compressed lower compartment 25.
- a sliding fastener 32 is provided to extend around the peripheries of the base portion 29 and the base of the main compartment 22 to secure the base portion 29 in underlying relationship with main compartment 22, with the compressed lower compartment 25 and the folded securing strap portion 30 contained therebetween.
- a motor cycle helmet 26 may be conveniently carried whether the motor cyclist is on foot or riding a motor cycle.
