Which backpack?

cubedean

Morning guys, I'm set to start commuting a couple of times a week again. I've just bought myself a new cx bike for commuting but I need a new bag. The biggest issue I had when I used to commute was a really sweaty back.

Criteria:
Enough space for change of clothes, lunch box & maybe shoes
Doesn't need to be hydration pack
Ventilated back

Thanks guys

the extra pockets fit, phone, keys and work pass as well which helps as they are easily accessible

Had same problem as you. Bought one of these, problem solved. Plenty of room for what you're carrying.

Ive got one the same as Zjohn recommends for sale if you're interested. Someone has emailed me about it today but if he's not interested I'll let you know. I've used it twice but backpacks aren't for me.

Brilliant bag and highly recommend but maybe a squeeze for a full change of clothes, shoes and lunch.
