Just about to hit the purchase button on this backpack, but wondered what current users thoughts were. I'm currently using a 20 litre camelback 'cross' from 6-7 years ago and am looking for a replacement.

Does it fit well?
what's good?
what's bad

and where did you get it from,
thanks

it fits ok on a massive back
it is comfy
i had to cut and sow the waist band to make it fit round my girth
i use it everyday for my commute
and i got it from ellis brighams.

Can you get to a shop and try one? Very personal things, backpacks. I'm sure a shop would let you fill it up a bit with stuff to simulate weight.

I do.
It's great.
I also have the 11L version.
This too is great.
Only smaller.

Like Tony, I would buy another one.

Try the Raptor range, its their bike specific range.

I do also use a Talon 5.5 which is good.

I like mine but not for on the bike as i find the top of the shoulder harness rubs my neck so i bought a wingnut to use for biking now.
The wife uses one for commuting and reckons it's good though.
As somebody else said go try one in the shop first.
