have a 30km either way commute, have been using a Camelbak Hawg NV but it lacks in volume, looking for something with more volume i can stick a dry bag in

anyone using a Osprey Radial 34? looks alright

anything else i should consider (on the back, not on the bike)

For long distance I prefer a soft back to anything fancy.

Still would rather have it on the bike though. Sqr slim for me, same length of commute

On the bike for that sort of trip for me too.

Osprey are excellent though.

alpkit gourdon has served me well, comfy and most importantly waterproof.

Have just invested in a rack and looking for some pannier bags now my commute is a bit longer though.

I've got a Lezyne allpack for my commute, I just liked the organisation, so I could have tools, tubes etc in one pack and clothes etc in another, each with their own place....
Though they are quite old now there is still some places with them in stock

I can't seem to find photos of the inside atm, I'm sure I bought mine from a review on here or a feature in FGF.

I can take pictures of mine if you like, survived a slide down the road with me on top...probably saved me some nasty gravel rash....

Cheers, Steve
