Review on Dark Slate Thule Rail 18L Backpack by Grant Galloway

I recently bought an e-bike and thought the idea of a central battery pocket would be a great feature. good backpack. At first glance, this backpack is made of a cool material that changes color depending on the light. I would say that it is iridescent and pearly. The material seems durable. Zippers are protected by rubberized heat shrink tubing with multiple finger loops for ease of use. There is an open outer pocket with straps at the top. The straps seem to sag too much as the overall opening is limited by the length of the bag edge itself. At the bottom are the obligatory straps for undressing. The room is divided by size and individual compartments are marked. Labeling is generally recommended. Of course, you and your gear can be placed wherever you like. There are marked pockets for soda bottles, tools and repair kits. And of course the main feature, the central pocket for the battery. It's big enough to fit my 14Ah battery in a soft space. The hydration reservoir is easily accessible thanks to a rear security patch in the pocket just behind. The tank is held in place with a small hook to keep it from falling. Similar to the camel backpacks I use. Comfortable shoulder straps with ribbed padding for airflow. The center back pad has a similar design and construction. The drinking tube has a partial sleeve. At first I thought it was partial isolation, which didn't make much sense. And I also thought that the sleeve was sewn to the shoulder strap. Then I tugged at it and found that it was attached to the shoulder strap with a magnet. I have a very cool and useful feature. I didn't have to re-clamp the hose or worry about it dangling. I usually run my hose under my arm and up to solve these problems. But somehow it got resolved. The valve is simple. No quick release like an antidote tank. All in all, a great package, especially for e-bike users who can't just take the whole bike to the office to plug in to charge and need to lift the battery while doing hands-free work.
