Ive been looking at a few backpacks that have been designed for bikers and found one that caught my interest. the Odyssey Beta bag; Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://sourcebmx.co.uk/product_images/1790.jpg"Designed by Adam Banton, with the bike rider in mind. Emulated by other companies, so we know we are doing something right. Spoke wrenches on the zippers(13g/14g and a 10mm) and 2 tires levers in the handle. Tool pouch for easy access and proper weight distribution. Ergonomic straps, with easy access pockets for keys, money, etc. Padded Mp3 player/Mini Disc/cd player/walkman/tranistor radio compartment with ports for headphones. Vented lower section to separate the dirty from the clean. Rip-Stop, Rubber backed nylon throughout to reduce weight and prolong the life of the bag. Hideaway belt with a removable belt pouch. Lots of pockets. Good size to ride in. Rubberized bottom to prevent wear. Digital camo / Hunter orange"-direct from the Odyssey website. how does it sound? Has anyone ever bought one and used the tools? thanks for the feedback.
I'll put in another vote for a Dakine, I give them an A+ on product quality and design. I used a Dakine park bag for years and it did everything. After about 7 years of use for many different activities the only thing that tore was the divider inside. Aside from that its been used for everything from bike riding to hauling my welding equipment to work and sitting on the floor of a shop everyday for a couple years. The damage that caused were some holes burned it but it keeps going.
