I have been using the Lezyne Powerpack for the last couple of months, got it for £18 off ebay brand new!
I'm really impressed, it is very well made, fully waterproof and has plenty of storage.
I like the adjustable 'Y' straps which allow you to move the pack further down your back which makes it more comfortable on longer rides, I used to get a bit of backache in my lower back on longer rides using my old pack, not anymore.
The only down side I can see really is some of the internal organizer pockets that are designed specifically for certain items are on the small side. For example, how you get an innertube into the innertube pocket is beyond me!
Overall a great pack, I got a bargain but would have paid a lot more for it.0 -
Seeing as you already have a Camelbak, i'd stick with the same make. That way all the bladders, hoses, bite valves are compatible between the two.0

Camelback Blowfish?
It's got a zipped extending main bag (big enough for a Met Kaos helmet with room to spare!), and two smaller compartments, which for the majority of tools & spares that you need, leaving the main bag for clothing/food etc....

I have a blowfish and it's brilliant, the expandable zip is really useful. It might not be quite big enough for regular all day riding though...0 -
