This video was helpful for me. Specially the "a hipbelt which you can remove" Part! Thank you a lot. I have been searching a long time for a backpack i really liked. And this seems to be something i was looking for.
Funky question: How broad are your shoulders? I'm still looking for the perfect commuter bag... for women. How would it fit on narrow shoulders? I hate to say I'm tiny, but I'm certainly not big XD Thanks!!
:) I am a slender guy and it fit well. If you are concerned about it being too big of a pack in general, the smaller size might be a better option since it has a smaller capacity and wouldn’t sway as much. I don’t think my wife would have a problem wearing it at all, but everyone is different. It also depends on your expectations. It would be just fine in city life even if it is a tad big, but if you were riding trails you might find it too big.
@@sethgrotzke Thank you so much for your input! I'll go for it. The smaller version is too small for my use. Under 25L is just too tight. Excited to try it out!
I am not sure the size of the one you are thinking, however I know that I can fit two normal cycling helmets at the same time. The shape may be awkward, depending on how large the helmet is.
The duration depends on a bunch of factors such as outside temperature, water temperature, etc. What we do on really hot days is load it up with ice cubes since the Camelbak bladders have such a wide fill mouth.
