Which Backpack

Bluestoesonnose

Over the last year I've been moving away from the two to three hour ride and have started doing longer and longer mountain bike rides with a mate and we're up to all dayers. However my my Camelbak Lobo which was great for blasting around the trails isn't up to the job of the longer rides (no shocks there) as i can't hold enought food, clothes and maps for the day out on the hills.

My riding buddy has a North Face pack with a great back system that holds the pack off your back allowing the air to flow and help keep you cool when you need it. It seems that North Face dont make this pack any more, does anyone know of a similar pack and back system. I've tried my Berhaus pack which has a similar mech and frame system but it doesn't seen to sit as well as the North Face one, so I guess I'm looking for a bike specific pack.

Cheers

My good woman bought me a Camelbak Mule NV for christmas. it has the thing to help airflow around your back, loads of expandable space, and a 3ltr reservoir.

Camelbak Mule for me too, enough ventilation on the back, and big enough for a good packed lunch water proof, few spares and 3l of drink

Karrimor Zodiak - cheaper than Camelbak. You just need to add a hydration pack.
