Available at Costco for £18 in four colours... black, red, blue, green.
First impression when looking at the bag is its a little big, but its light has a good number of pockets of various sizes, helmet storage... and two handy waist pockets.
I tested it on a short 2 hour ride in a local nature reserve (first time back on bike after pulling my shoulder muscle)
and it felt so comfortable i didnt even notice i was wearing it as it sits high on the back.
The waist pockets were great with quick access to phone and food stuff.
All in all a very good bag and should last a long time if looked after.
The padding is not too little or too much.
A nice little feature is the "sports flap"... a stretchable mesh pull out that will hold you helmet in place when not wearing it or not wishing to carry it by hand.
On the bottom is a stretchable mesh pocket and also a strap for attaching light.
In the middle is a dedicated bike tool pocket which in itself has two mesh pockets for keeping items easily findable.
At the top are two pockets...
A medium sized pocket for food stuffs.
And a large sized pocket for spare clothes or other bulky items.
Now the bladder is a good 2Ltr wide neck bag with slide lock so easy to clean after each use.
The drinking tube is padded to prevent freexing... but i doubt i will put that to the test.
The spout is a good size made of rubber.
The bladder has its own pocket and can be clipped to prevent it from falling to bottom of pocket.
And access to the bladder couldnt be easier through the zipped side entry.
