Riding Packs
Arwi in CA
I have been wearing back packs and vest for mostly trail riding and a couple of races. Dirt biking and adventure riding. I wanted to try something different for an upcoming 3 hour race to get the load off the top of my back. Seems to fit pretty good so far loaded with 1.5L of water. I pan to keep very minimal tools and maybe some gels. I am a shorter dude about 5,4" and 170" so it probably looks bigger on me than most! The day the product arrived the magnetic clip broke off by just moving it to another side. I plan on just deleting it and using the helmet bite valve (sold separately by USWE) attachment and run it through my jersey. But if I do plan on using it for something else I'll be sure to by a spare magnetic clip because they do look pretty weak. The bag itself seems very solid and well made. The ultimate test will be through a mud race. I like that the front flap folds open and has two zippers on each side. Makes it easy to grab what you need with gloves on. I plan on writing a follow up review after the race.

Love this pack, so much we ordered my wife one also. Since I carry a front fender, tool bag and a waist Toolbelt I can get everything I need into this pack for the rides. The reason for this size a pack is it Eliminates the bottom of the pack sitting on the waist belt which is uncomfortable. In addition to a full bladder, I am able to get in small trauma kit, Sam, splint, adjustable, jackstands, Zip ties, treats and compact, 9 mm pistol with ease. The pack is super comfortable.

I needed a tool bag for an upcoming BDR. This one was affordable and provided lots of room. I like all the compartments and elastic straps. The zippered compartment and magnetic strip are nice touches. I loaded it up with a ton of tools and etc. I wish I had weighted it, but guess it's 3-4lbs. The webbing on the top gives you anchor options. I like it. It's a good value .

Was using Osprey packs for extra room, mainly because I prefer the fold-type bladders over the camelback's style. Delighted to find this USWE uses the fold-type, has a pocket inside the pocket over more another pocket with pockets, both of which have interior elastic straps for holding all your shit in place. I put my KTM toolkit across the inside bottom of the main compartment to keep the weight closer to my hips. The NDM tech is a game-changer and sizing isn't an issue for me and I'm 6'4" with a thick chest protector. 3L is a LOT of water and you can hardly tell it's there. The magnetic clip is a must IMO and I did lose mine riding so there's that.. I'd recommend positioning it with the open part of the clip pointed down/out

Good for shorter rides. No space for tools when bladder is full. No instructions on how to route and use the magnetic piece on the bite valve. Good quality little cumbersome as a Fanny pack. Wanted access to phone or video capability, this wasn't the answer for me.

Could not be happier with the pack. Just the right size holds a water bottle nice and tight, and doesn't slip down. It's a bit pricey but honestly worth the money.
