Hi everyone
I've been looking at getting a new backpack for all day rides, thats hydration compatible and has a descent amount of space but not too large at the same time.
I've already got a new camelbak 3L resevoir, and again 18L seems like a good size for this.
I like my mates Berghaus Bladdered, but they don't make them anymore. Seems to have been replaced by the Berghaus Freeflow 20L £45.
After doing some more research I found the Dakine Amp 18L & Deuter Cross Bike 18L. Both comparable prices and both have good reviews. The major difference I see is that the Dakine Amp comes with a resevoir.
If you have either of these bags be good to hear the pro's and cons of each. Or if you have a bag that you think fits the bill better. Both bags are going for between £40-£51.
Cheers

I paid about £40 something for a Dakine AMP 18l recently, it is brilliant. The bag is spacious but with enough pockets and compartments to keep things still, the reservoir is brilliant, easy to get in and out. I love it.0

Cheers for that, I was leaning towards the Dakine as it came with a resevoir (even though I already have a Camelbak resevoir). Besides that they seem like very similar bags.
Is there descent ventilation between your back and back, to reduce sweating?0 -
Yes, the back is fairly rigid but with ridges that keep it away from your back. I tend to ride in just a base layer, whatever the weather (I'm Northern), and haven't noticed a sweaty back.0
