The best cycle backpacks

Characteristic features of high-quality back-velory backpack are anatomical shape, back ventilation, waterproof fabric, the presence of quick access pockets and a drinking system. For small overnight trips, a volume of 25–35 liters is sufficient - it is these models that we included in our review.

4 POLAR P1535

Backpacks of the Polar Perfomans series are positioned as urban, but the developers have provided several details that expand the scope of its use. The model is small and medium-sized (volume 25 l), equipped with a rigid anatomical back, so it is advisable to take it with you on a one or two-day bike tour. It is important that it weighs only 0.9 kg. In addition to the standard black color, the shoulder velukukzak is offered in more cheerful colors - orange, pink and light green, and therefore it is very popular among the female audience, not alien to the tourist joys.

Compared with foreign-made counterparts, domestic products are about 2 times more affordable, but slightly inferior in quality. Judging by the reviews, users have no complaints about the shoulder-belt system - the straps are sewn to the conscience, so you can carry a decent load, up to 12 kg. The cargo belt cannot be compared with a full-fledged tourist backpack - these are classic attached straps, but they also allow you to pull the backpack tightly to the hips, and therefore, precisely control the position of the luggage.

3 Jack Wolfskin Moab Jam 30

The MOB Jam series backpack is difficult to attribute to any particular category - it is a product of those for all occasions.Classic design "unisex" allows representatives of both sexes to carry it to a fitness club, and increased capacity - to ride a bike or walk on foot out of town, capturing everything you need for outdoor. The versatility is also added by the rich equipment, including a helmet mount, a rain cover, an alarm whistle, lowering straps that unload the lower back, which hide out as unnecessary in the backpack case.

Practical add-ons - mounts for a LED flashlight with reflective strips, hinges for trekking poles, elements for adjusting the height of the straps to their own height and a system for placing it in a hydrator backpack. Among the shortcomings mentioned in the reviews, mention should be made of the high placement of mesh side pockets, which is why it is inconvenient to get their contents without removing the backpack from the back. In addition, some users do not like that the handle for carrying it is too narrow.

2 Deuter Trans Alpine 30

Initially, the Trans Alpine bicycle backpack with a capacity of 30 liters was designed for mountain routes of 2–3 days in duration, but it can be operated in all types of outdoor activity. 30-ka is an “average sister”, in the line there are also cycle pants with smaller (25 l) and larger (32 l) capacity, as well as female models and models for tall people. They all have the same benefits:

• a streamlined shape, thanks to which backpacks look much more compact than they really are;
• reasonable allocation of space - there are two large internal pockets (they can be combined), small pockets on the outside and on the belt, a secret compartment for documents;
• indestructibility of the outer fabric and the inner lining, the quality factor of the fittings;
• elegant design and versatility - any model can be used as a city bike option, in flights (drawn up as hand luggage) and in hiking hikes.

In cycling trips some more advantages of a design are shown. Thanks to the combination of a flexible aluminum profile and anatomical weight belt, the backpack sits on its back like a glove. At the same time, the Airstripes system ensures maximum air circulation and prevents excessive perspiration.

1 Thule uptake

The longer the route, the more vital that the cyclist observes the drinking regime. Carrying a bottle with you and constantly stopping to take a sip is not an option. It is much more efficient to use the drinking system that experienced market players like Thule equip with UpTake backpacks. For the convenience of the athlete, it implements a magnetic return of the hands-free hose, eliminating the need to constantly correct the tube and distract from the ride.

The manufacturer has taken care of a sufficient range of sizes: in the model range there are cycle backpacks from 4 to 12 liters. Recall that to carry on the back of more than 15 kg is not recommended, becauseaboutThe largest mass affects the stability and controllability of the bike. Thule's approach to product reliability is no less responsible: before the backpack goes on sale, it passes at least 100 tests according to a proprietary testing program, the rigidity of which is inferior even to the generally accepted ISO system. Not surprisingly, the company provides a 2-year warranty covering all defects, including fading and normal wear and tear.

Best city backpacks

The ideal backpack for everyday use in the city should reliably protect the contents, match the style of clothing, have easily accessible external pockets for small items and a breathable backrest.The optimal volume is a purely individual characteristic, but we tried to select small and at the same time quite roomy models.

4 NOVA TOUR Simple 20

A 20-liter backpack weighing 300 g is a truly record-breaking characteristic, and very important, as it is assumed that Simpl 20 will be used for tourist purposes. However, the model and in the city there is a lot of work - it is often bought for carrying various kinds of tools (the price allows), shopping on the occasion (folds into a compact roll) or for business trips. The internal organization is extremely simple and consists of a main department, a smaller front pocket and mesh side pockets.

Backpack made of 600D polyester. Its lightness, strength and resistance to abrasion attracted the attention of many manufacturers, and the use of this fabric is not at all unusual. Another thing is interesting - on the inside, the material is not impregnated with polyvinyl chloride, as usual, but with polyurethane. This solution is more expensive, but it allows you to increase the water resistance of the product and extend the temperature range of its use - from 30 to +40 degrees.

3 Xiaomi Mini 10

Urban youths always have something to grab with them — a tablet, sneakers, a tasty nishtyach or portable speaker, but they are not ready to bind themselves with heavy things. Young fans to travel lightly need something compact and roomy at the same time, universal - to fit for the city, workouts or spontaneous outings, and, it is highly desirable, with a bright emotional design.

All these requirements are fully consistent with the mini-backpack from Xiaomi. Its volume and size - 10 liters, 34x23x13 cm - correspond to the name of the mini, and even the pockets, at first glance, is not enough. However, there is enough space for a gadget with a maximum diagonal of 10‒11 ", a pair of notebooks or books, a 0.5 l water bottle and a snack. As for the appearance, it is very laconic and at the same time causes sympathy due to deep shades - mint green, navy, orange and others. The product, besides being beautiful, is also practical, as it tolerates washing perfectly, does not fade with time and successfully withstands rain.

2 NORFIN Dry Bag

Anyone who has ever been hit with an ordinary city backpack under torrential rain knows that, although it is water-repellent, it doesn’t save the inside contents from getting wet. This function is 100% able to handle a backpack of high-density nylon with taped seams and waterproof zippers, such as the Norfin Dry Bag. He had time to evaluate not only hunters and fishermen, but also motorcyclists, cyclists, residents of rainy regions.

The level of tightness of the product is easy to check - for this it is enough to close it with velcro and two locks, and then try to force the air out. In the reviews they say that it will not work. For urban use is better to take a 20-liter model weighing 0.5 kg. Also on sale you can find germoryukki 25 and 35 liters. All modifications are endowed with some tracking and tourist functions: a chest strap, a ventilated suspension system, sealed straps, mounts for a raincoat or a mat.

1 WENGER Mono sling 7

The compact single-strand "Mono Sling" backpack of the famous WENGER brand weighs some 200 g and holds a volume of 7 liters - a kind of "purse" for the original city dweller. Its shape is unusual - in the form of a triangle, and this imposes certain restrictions on the size and placement of things inside: a thermos bottle or a 1.5-liter bottle easily fits, there is still room for documents, books, headphones and, for example, a pocket umbrella, but the folder A4 format does not fit. As for gadgets, the backpack is optimal for iPad 9.7 "(without a cover) or a laptop 10".

It is necessary to make a reservation that the design of the sling involves wearing on the left shoulder or over the shoulder, according to the principle of cross-body.They say that wearing comfort is an amateur, but you can get used to it. But the backpack is instantly removed and worn, which is very valuable in the confusion of the metropolis. In all the details, you can feel the true Swiss quality: thick fabric, thick lines, massive lightning. If the backpack is used for its intended purpose, it will last for at least 5 years. Proof of this are the reviews of owners of backpacks from previous collections.
