I purchased this bag in store a little over year ago to begin my journey into mountain biking. Since my purchase, I've kitted it with a first aid kit, tire tools, a spare tire tube, a topeak cycling toolset, and various other things through out my time with it. The bag itself, despite its compact design, actually holds a good bit of stuff as I've been able to fit 2 outfits along with the other stuff I mentioned into the bag with the exclusion of the bladder all at one time. The pros........ -The bag is quite spacious and the fact it has a generous amount of interior pockets, both in the main and the smaller pocket, makes it easy to organize your things -I've noticed others mention the bladder leaks, but for myself I haven't had issues with leaking as long as I make sure all the fittings are nice and tight -The hose has good length and durability and the mouthpiece is both comfortable to bite on and flows very well -The shoulder straps are very comfortable to me and the bag doesn't really shift around on me when I'm either walking/hiking, or biking with it but of course your miles may vary -It doesn't stain easily. I've taken falls with this bag in grass, have had mud kick up on it from my rear tire, and even soaked the top of the shoulder straps with sweat, and ive been able to remove every mark and stain completely The cons........ -During my time with it, the issues I've noticed is the bag interior wall lining is made out of a cheap material that rips easily over time. -The main pouch zippers constantly catch the fabric that overhangs/covers the zipper making it sometimes difficult to close, and getting the zippers unstuck can be a bit of a pain. -The backpack itself isnt exactly weatherproof, so if you get caught in a storm, expect anything in it to most likely get wet. -While the mouthpiece itself is fine, the cap that covers the mouth piece breaks off very easily when in constant use. Overall, besides those issues, its actually a great bag for the price point. I would recommend this bag to anyone whos looking to buy a starter bag and looking for things on the cheaper side.
