I cycle to work all year round, about 100km a week (cyclocross, no electricity). I needed a bigger backpack for a change of clothes, a laptop and a lock when the pack is missing. I bought a Soulo backpack about 1 month ago, i.e. about 300 km on my back (autumn vacation in between).
There has been a positive surprise:
- the flap opens wide and I can quickly find what I want,
-it is rigid and stays upright without support
-the straps are wide enough and do not weigh on the shoulders
- at least the backpack hasn't worn out at all this fall
-the height of the straps connecting the straps can be adjusted.
-rain-resistant and the material is easy to clean
-I think it also looks good
The backpack doesn't have a thong or belt around the waist, but I haven't needed it. Possibly would just polish more.
I recommend!
