Chadvdw67 Posted December 19, 2023 Share I used to use my USWE backpack from my dirtbike days when I started cycling, they are are comfy and dont move around, but got a Camelbak Repack, the waist pack, it was a game changer, 1.5l bladder is big enough for every ride I have done, it is also comfortable, you dont really notice it after a couple minutes riding, but the biggest advantage for me, is your back can breathe, I get super hot when riding, and not having a backpack on keeps you MUCH cooler Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted December 19, 2023 Share I have a USWE Outlander 3 and Salomon ADV SKIN 12 from running. The USWE is great for the shorter riders where I need to carry minimal spares as the pack can't hold too much. For longer rides where I need to carry a bit more I prefer my Salomon vest. I also find it more comfy than the USWE as well as being more practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patensie Posted December 19, 2023 Share I use an orange 2003 Camelbak Mule that just wont die. I think I replaced the bladder once #Milton. For shorter rides, I prefer my hip pack, a Camelbak Repack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted December 19, 2023 Share 5 hours ago, Jacques Joubert WC said: Has anyone tried the Marvel version of the Uswe-type backbacks? https://www.cyclelab.com/product/4004473-hydrpod-marvel-asset-hydration-pack-2l At R799 the price is appealing. I tried it on in store an it seemed quite nice. Less ventilation on straps and back than Uswe perhaps, but the way it fastens and adjusts seems the same I tried a similar approach with the backpack from Lizzard ( https://lizzardonline.com/collections/enduro-bags/products/trek-backpack ) wasted my cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted December 19, 2023 Share My Mule was stolen several years ago and i replaced it with a Dakine Drafter (on sale at R500) which has withstood numerous crashes and a bladder repair. I'd rate it as better than a Mule and as well made if not better. Sadly, not available in SA anymore it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
