Seems like a thoughtful bag. I bought one and am waiting for it. Would love to see a slightly smaller size and I love the way the 21l bag hooks down better. 26l would be the sweet spot for me.
You mentioned a few times it wasn't cheap. I think it's fairly priced. Funny thing is I was expecting closer to $200+. Certainly a great option here in Tucson during the monsoon season. Or really anytime. Apidura bags all over the bike, this would be a great substitute for some of them. And sometimes I think having all the bags on you're asking for someone to reach into them when commuting in city limits. Although I rarely even park for a second (locks only slow them down), in a squeeze when it's needed the bag is an advantage. Easier to get to camera, GoPro, and drones too. Great reviews as always. Sometimes your channel gets lost if I'm not lookingvia the Subscribed section. Sure it will be back in the algorithm again now.
I got one, Clint. Tried to use the code to help you out but they did not allow it. I think because they had a waterproof bar bag as a free promotional item.
Get a poncho and put it in the bag. The poncho gets pulled out when it rains and covers you and the bag and it’s loose so you don’t sweat. The expensive bike packs are expensive for nothing. The roll down water proof features makes it to you can’t see over your shoulder. The whistle is for hiking not cycling. You’re gonna blow a whistle while riding hard and out of breath? No that’s what bike bells are for. Thanks for the content and thanks for the video but a regular back pack has more features like better pockets. Hosing down a back pack means you got to now let it dry and if you live in Florida like I do, there is a strong chance that you live in a condo or apartment.
I live in North Central Florida with lots of land fortunately. When I hose the pack off it takes about three hours to dry. Don’t have to do that all the time but it’s just a feature that I like.
I know you mention the shipping. But I observed that they have U.S. Warehouses. I reached out to them. If I hear that there is anywhere to purchase here in the states I'll update.
I find that packs recycling don’t really need a thick waistband like a hiking backpack does. Since you are lean forward, most of the weight is higher up and you don’t need to take the weight off your shoulders onto your hips.
