This multi-function pack is a great combination of a daypack and bike pack, holding a huge 2, 100 cubic inches of gear. Floating shoulder harness suspension accommodates a wide range of torso sizes. Movable hip wings ensure pack rides like a dream on your hips. Aeroflex suspension creates a space between your back and the pack, creating a breezeway to move air across your back. Features a built-in helmet holder, raincover, outside pocket and a map pocket. Interior sleeve accomodates a hydration reservoir, sold separately.
Strengths: Suspension system design works. I commuted in Tucson nearly three years carrying everything imaginable. Other pack feel like a weighted garbage bag compared to this.
Highly adjustable. It will fit everyone from Twiggy to The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Durable. No rips, tears, etc.
Weaknesses: Main zipper needs to be beefier. Mine broke after year-two.
Bottom Line:
Tons of volume comfortably and securly suspended off your back. Every bit of food that ever made it into my apartment was transported from the store to my kitchen using this. Gallons of milk, pints of icecream, frozen chickens, large containers of sports drinks, Playstation II, videos, etc. Most of the bike equipment I bought at LBS was carried. Six years of college textbooks, notebooks and changes of clothes were carried using this.
