Unisex 25L biking backpack with internal divider and raincover.
If after a hard day's ride, the end of the trail is still blissfully unknown then you share our 'single-track' mind. This spirit of adventure is captured by the versatility of our Escapist series. Whether you're riding 100+ miles or commuting to work, the AirScape™ backpanel provides you with complete ventilation and support.
Decided that today you're going to tackle some downhill? When you're thrashing those fast descents you'll appreciate how the Biostretch™ hipbelt and harness keep the pack cinched comfortably to your back. The Escapist's twin zippered hipbelt pockets mean you can quickly grab trail essentials on the go and firmly attach your helmet with Lidlock™. Keep your phone and sunglasses to hand with the scratch-free pockets in the harness and main compartment.
The best rides inevitably result in dirty gear, store it separately with the Escapist's internal zipped divider. Keeping yourself hydrated when riding hard is absolutely key, with quick access to the external hydration sleeve you can easily refill your reservoir.
When you're out riding over multiple days, you'll need to carry enough kit.InsideOut™ compression and PowerMesh™ stretch pockets allow you to securely transport all your gear no matter how rutted the track you're riding gets. An internal organiser means you can easily sort your tools, spares and pumps. Even when the weather turns for the worst, the built in high visibility raincover deploys quickly to protect your pack and all of your gear. Keep yourself visible in low light with reflective graphics and blinker light attachment.

The backpack has been used for daily work, cycling, skiing and day trips. Snappy fit, doesn't wobble even in harder MTB riding. Holds day trip items well. Enough practical pockets for organization. The rain cover kept things dry on the Gappohyta cycling adventure in Norway. There is a need for a special place for a drink bag. I would probably think about the design of the opening of the main pocket, of course all Osprey products are based on the same formula. M.M. a SLR camera with lenses can fit a nipple sensibly through the mouth opening. Overall very good, no need to look for an alternative product for this use.

I did my backpack for commuting and spring for mountain biking as well. The backpack matched the description very well and has been in daily use since I got it. When cycling, the backpack is hardly noticeable on the back and the backpack works really well for what I wanted! Wear resistance should also be good, but it remains to be seen. I recommend, I have been satisfied!

Established its place as a daypack on all trips, even in winter. Really light on the back and plenty of pockets, the backpack can hold everything you need for a day trip (pans, food, drinks, cookers, etc.). The belt pockets and the pocket on the shoulder strap should be a little bigger so that they can be used with today's phones, for example.
The only really big minus comes from these so-called InsideOut ™ tightenings in the side pockets, as their implementation is really poor. Taken directly from the package, the tension ties of one pocket were inside the pocket and the other outside. These can only be turned in the opposite direction, but the holes from which those ties should be threaded are far too small and don’t want to stretch enough, so the pocket gets really easily torn if you use too much force.
