Cycling backpacks

so a backpack must sit higher and narrower so as not to get in the way when pedalling and not to raise the centre of gravity. That is why cycling models have a ventilated back, chest and hip straps, and a rather flat profile. A volume of around 15 to 20 litres will cover an all-day ride including tools and an extra layer. You will appreciate a water reservoir where there is no time to reach for a bottle. An integrated backpack rain cover is a small detail that makes all the difference on a bike: rain arrives faster than you manage to stop.
