I've gone through a few backpacks over the years and this one tops them all. Not just the fact that it matches my gear, it has all the features I want and need in a backpack for riding. It has a handle on the top, a chest and belly strap (I took off the belly strap), a cargo net to hold my helmet when I'm walking around, and a rain proof cover. Tons of pockets! The shoulder straps have trick tightening/loosening handles to quickly get in and out of the backpack. Ya, it's kinda expensive, but you get what you pay for. Did I mention that I love this backpack? ?
