(For the rideout)

Knox aero backpack. There's a review in the clothing section.

i'm being cheap and looking on ebay, just can't decide on the right size

Yep, I had a look at the Knox at HG in maidstone this afternoon but it seems a tad small... I like the look of the oxford humpback rucksack but I can't be ars*d to pay £80 for it? Just call me cheap

I'm also looking at the humpback tankbag at the moment and there seems to be quite a few of them on ebay.

I have an Alpine Lowe "Alpine Attack 20", which is on the smaller side but a typical Friday's contents include:

Laptop
PSU for laptop
A4 Folio
Hard glasses case
PDA
Jeans
Tee Shirt
Trainers
Spare Visor
Bike Magazine

Not bad, and that's without expanding it

It's water resistand, comfortable and relatively small. Wasn't cheap at £50 but with ruck sacks, quality shows. Good ones are comfortable and the straps are easy to do up and release. Cheap ones are a pain, I know, I've bought enough of them in the past....

I also have a HG ruck sack (the one with the bit that extends to take your lid and has a pack away rain cover) which is bigger and just as comfortable, hust a bit too big for every day use..

Hi there,

Girlfriend bought me an Alpinestars Bag from the NEC bike show last year.
This bag is great, it will hold a helmet and has several neat pockets.

It even has room to put a personal stereo or MP3 Player and has a specified rubber grommit to allow the head phones out of.

Can't remember the model but I'll keep an eye out and post again when I find it.

Naah, I've already got a "first time" tailpack that I bought from HG for a tenner last year so I'm looking at additional space for the tent and sleeping bag and stuff for the ride-out.

I got an Oxford one. Very good.

I have just bought a Kriega R35. It ain't cheap at £95 but its real quality kit. I had a Berghaus 25 litre rucksack before this, but it beats it hands down. The quadloc fastening is a great system.
