OspreySiskin 12 w/Res Black O/S

Who designed this ridiculous bladder compartment? On all other packs, including Osprey, you can have the drinking tube come out on either side. I guess Osprey hates left-handed people. But beyond that what's with the zipper that runs halfway down the shoulder strap. It's such a pain to load and unload the bladder. So unnecessary.I don't know why pack manufacturers are phasing out the open stuff pockets. They are the most useful part of having a pack. Quick access for stuffing a layer into or putting a small tool pack into. 10 years ago you couldn't buy a pack without one, now they're hard to find and are way too small to be useful when they do have them. It's hard to get things in and out of it because it's so tight and the center strap instead of two side straps on the back stuff pocket just gets in the way.

This is my second Osprey backpack, and it does not disappoint! Quality is really great. While not advertised as water proof, the fabric is good to keep water out and it feels it will last a lifetime!There are 2 inside mesh pocket for wallets, keys, etc and the small pocket on the top is great to put mobile phone. The only "conplaint" I have is that to fully open the bag, you need to unbuckle the 2 straps outside. So this is not for you if you need full access to the content frequently. On the hand, the bad is quite flat and without bulk so great when you use it for cycling or running.

The best trail bag for the MTB I've owned, period. Good size, good weight even when hydration is full, plenty of storage and pockets for tools, lock, phone, waterproof jacket. Comfy to wear on long rides.

The media could not be loaded.  Bought to replace an ancient Camelbak and use it for Mountain Biking, really nice quality and Hydration bladder is miles better and easier than the camelback one. Nice selection of interior mesh storage for tools, first aid, waterproofs plus pockets on the hip straps and two spaces inside for a bike pump etc, the straps make it very adjustable. I like the magnetic chest catch and the magnetic clip for the drink tube. Seems to be a remarkable price under £60 especially as the bladder alone retails for £40. Love the colour combination of blue and lime green. The bladder has its own completely separate compartment and with the baffles in the bladder it doesn't slosh around. The Airscape mesh back keeps you cool and even adds some decent back protection for mountain biking. Easy helmet bungee clip and also full face Helmet straps finish it off. All with a lifetime a guarantee from osprey. What's not to like!
