Review on 🚲 Optimized for SEO: Osprey Syncro 5 Men's Bike Hydration Backpack by Darnell Golden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I wasn't sure if I needed a backpack on my back but this one works great.

After decades of road cycling, I've recently taken up mountain biking. I started with a bottle and cage but didn't like all the dirt that got on the bottle and was a bit jealous of the other rider who had water on hand as well as first aid kits and other things. I also didn't really like my seat pack and how it interacted with my dropper post. After a little research, I pulled the trigger for this one. I think my purchase was influenced by the design keeping it off the back for more ventilation. I got it at the end of the season so I haven't worn it on really hot days but it seems to keep my back cool. I am very happy with the fit and how secure it stays on all hits, jumps and the English body. Lots of pockets for this and that and the helmet mount I really like. At first I thought it was some kind of trick, but it works really well and is handy. I don't know if other cheaper packages wouldn't be as good, but in the end I wanted a product from a trusted company. - especially when it comes to putting it in your mouth!

Pros
  • LidLock helmet mount and loop for attaching flashing light (light not included)
Cons
  • Upgradeable
