The best cycling backpack in the market

I have been looking for some time now for the cycling backpack in the market which would fit my needs. You should do DYOR also between backpacks.:) There are multiple options how to choose the right backpack and what to focus on. I have to say it was not as easy as I have thought it would. I have listed what I expect from my backpack. I have defined all the features my backpack should have that could help me on the bike and make my ride more pleasant. First of all I have decided that one of…

Pros
  • special holder for phone
  • lot of space
  • great back
  • colors
  • raincover
Cons
  • small pocket for the phone

This is an excellent backpack. Good for hiking and cycling

Great backpack. Good for walking and cycling. The question arose as to whether the side sleeves could hold a 32-ounce Nalgene. The fit is snug and the material can stretch over time making it problematic to use the smaller sizes but as you can see from the picture it works.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

A very underrated package.

My favorite Osprey hiking/cycling backpack. I've tried several Osprey packs and returned them (mostly from REI). Great organization, I like the helmet clip, I put the headphones in my breast pocket. It's a small backpack but great for my needs, for day use, short bike rides or even hikes of around 8 hours.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

I wanted something small and comfortable that is and within easy reach.

This backpack is just what I needed for my day trips. I wanted something small and handy and I can easily get my water bottles out while hiking (I don't use water bags because they always leak!). I have used several different backpacks and this is the best and most comfortable.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I will add later

Be sure to buy! for backpacks, bags and accessories

The best everyday bag. The rear suspension is very high quality. Sure, I sweat when I ride my bike, but my shirt doesn't get wet! The price is for bottle and bag. The bubble alone costs $30. So the price is worth it! I live in Chicago and commute to work every day. This bag has good deep pockets. You can put a raincoat, raincoat, sweater, sweatpants and an extra shirt in the main pocket. Yes, I packed everything for training. It rained too. The middle pockets have 2 mini pockets and one main…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Can't remember but something was

Convenient and thoughtful

I bought this pack on the recommendation of a friend. I've used it for an overnight bike ride (with a hydration bladder, tools and camping supplies) and also for mountain biking to work. This is the first pack I own that feels secure, stable and comfortable when fully loaded and descending technical mountain bike trails. It doesn't have a laptop sleeve, but I put my laptop in a padded sleeve and just toss it straight into the main pocket. I haven't had any problems yet. The built-in rain cover…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Nothing here

The price is worth what you get.

I love this backpack for commuting. I ride about 10 miles one way and it's comfortable and breathable on my back. I carry a change of clothes, charger holder, notebook and everyday electronics with me without any problems. The top pocket makes it easy to hold your phone where the headphones can come out of the top zip if you open it a bit. I don't have a hydration pack so can't comment on that, but the rain cover seems to work well (it rarely rains in California so I couldn't test other than…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great day hike/bike backpack

I've used the backpack on several hikes with the 2L water bladder and it works great! I also use it daily as a bike backpack and the helmet clip is perfect. Lightweight, back breathes well (but I'm not a very sweaty type either), but after riding my bike through Seattle's hilly terrain, my back is wet, as expected. The breast pocket is useless for a phone, but it barely fits my sunglasses. Pros: - Removable rain cover (also neon yellow/green which is good for visibility) - Helmet mount…

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Some cons

Good quality hiking backpack

This review is for the Osprey Escapist 18 backpack. I haven't had the chance to use it many times but as there isn't one for this particular review I thought I'd try to get my first impressions to hopefully help others who are looking at this. Overall it looks like a really well built backpack. I haven't found any issues with quality control yet, all zippers work perfectly. All white markings on the bag are reflective. Depending on how much weight you put in the bag, I'm worried that the vent…

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Some cons
