CamelBak HAWG Commute 30 Bike Hydration Pack, Black

The comments below follow the sequence of pictures posted: - The "Air Support" system works really well - It has a waist support - As well as a chest support - The left strap zip pocket, even though elastic, may be small for a wallet or a phone larger than 6", but in my case, it's perfect to store my company badge - The right strap pocket comes with a ring holder for keys. It fits my entire key chain without issues (it's elastic and would hold a big key chain as well) - The material is 100% water proof, BUT, it will scratch easily. Those scratches can't be felt if you run your fingers over it, so I'm guessing they are merely cosmetic. It doesn't bother me but keep that in mind. There's space for a night light (those ones from bicycles fit in there). It also has an unzipped front pocket that is perfect for wet clothes (I used it for my rain coat). It's quite tight and there's no risk of lighter things falling off from it. I wouldn't store anything important there - It is the only backpack to ever fit my 40oz ThermoFlask in the bottle holder. It's also elastic and will stay loose after you use it for a larger bottle. Make sure not to switch to a smaller bottle later - There's an additional zipped front pocket - As well a side zipped one on the left side - The main space is full of zipped pockets and there's a lot of space - The laptop space fits comfortable a 17" gamer/bulky laptop. There is also a pocket to store documents or tablets with an interesting twisting Velcro closure - Two additional photos showing the loose bottle holder and the scratches

I'd gone through several bags looking for the perfect commuter bag for my needs. A few things first: MY commute is via bike; and is about 5 miles each way, entirely on roads. Because my bike is my daily rider, I didn't want to put panniers on it, though I admit that they are likely the best option for a sole commuter bike, I needed a backpack that I could bring into the office with me. I needed space for my computer, gym clothes, lunch, toiletries & towel, and an extra pair of shoes. I started off with an Osprey Daylite Plus which is my general dayhike bag, and while I could make it work, it was literally JAMMED packed and I needed to strap my coffee mug and water bottle to the exterior. It looked bad and wasn't overly useful. I then tried an ortlieb bag, but found it had very little support, looked funny when not well packed, and lacked any sort of organizational pockets - it was just one big bag with a laptop sleeve. The MULE 30L met all of my needs. I've used t daily for my bike commute, and have also taken it for overnights where I just need a few changes of clothes and cane travel light. I absolutely love this bag, and so far zero issues. IT seems well made, I love the numerous organizational options, and the way the main compartment opens flat for organizing clothes, etc. is awesome. Separate laptop zippered area is a great thought and makes grabbing electronics for air travel a breeze. It's also comfortable, and the key / phone holder in the pack straps are an ingenious design feature. tl;dr: 11/10 on this one, seriously, if you've been on the fence, buy it!

I am a medium sized woman (height 1.68) with broad shoulders. This bag initially felt a bit wide for my shoulders, but I got used to it. If I were any smaller, I believe it would too wide and long for me. The bag is comfortable both walking and cycling, and feels well built and durable. I've used it for commute cycling and walking around town. It feels roomy for it's size (my previous backpack was 32 litres, yet this feels larger), and comfortably fits a laptop, food for the while day, climbing shoes, a small towel and a change of clothes. I love the abundance of pockets

This thing has so much room, and is so comfortable to wear while commuting to work and back. It's everything you want in a bike backpack. Pockets for days. I pack my lunch, bike repair tools, a full change of office clothes, and paperwork. No problem. The only thing I can suggest that would improve this pack is some more reflective tape on the back, or a better way of attaching a red flashing LED light to the back of it, for safety while riding in the dark.

I have really liked this as a biking commuter bag. The command center compartments on the shoulder straps are a really nice touch. The only complaint is that the key clip fell off within a week or two.

I use this bag to commute to work and it’s perfect living in Seattle. No more backpack cover, and fighting my bag to fit my oversized lunch bag. Room for my water bottle and coffee, plenty of pockets for all the other crap I need for my job. I’ve searched a long time for my perfect work backpack and THIS is it!

I don't write many reviews but this backpack stood out for me. Between compartment options, comfort, capacity and durability this pack is the best I have ever used. I just got done with a trip through Roatan Honduras and the conditions can be very rough on gear, between saltwater, moisture sand and heat you often end with a pack that's too beat to trust for future adventures. This pack came out unscathed. Highly recommend as a travel or ruck pack!.

My husband has been using it daily for his commute to work on his motorcycle. Holding up great. No signs if wear at all

No regret, purchased the larger version. Very Comfortable with weight. Worth the price compared to a cheap bag. Great design in all aspects.

Perfect bag for the job! Just what I was looking for. Camelback never fail to impress me but this is the cream of the crop for the ultimate ‘commuting’ bag. I was it when I go out with the kids to store everything from drinks to coats. So comfortable, worth the price tag!

Sitter tight på ryggen, perfekt att cykelpendla med. De fack jag behöver. Ett för en laptop och det större som utan problem sväljer både matlåda och kläder jag tar med fram och åter till jobbet.

Lo Zaino è adatto come propagandato all'uso con la bicicletta, ed è tutto sommato valido come prodotto sia nella progettazione madeinusa, e materiali costruttivi certificati, peccato che la camelbak USA per fare i numeri lo produca in indonesia, e diciamo che la qualità ne risente, ad esempio; ha gli accessori di plastica non propio di alta qualità come un strumento made in usa deve avere. Ma però ha alcune anti caratteristiche, non mi sono piaciute gli attacchi sullo zaino e il sistema delle cinghie di cintura un volta indossato lo zaino, inoltre come la tasca aperta dietro per mettere una leggera giacchetta, ebbene la tasca quando piove raccoglie molta acqua sia se si è in bicicletta che a piedi e l'acqua si infiltra nello zaino, cosi che l'acqua filtra e bagna l'interno con tutto il suo contenuto, ho risolto il problema equipaggiando lo zaino con un poncho leggero. Vi ricordate il mio appunto su gli accessori di plastica come le chiusure, bene allora io ho avuto il problema nel fermo gancio anteriore dove sia il maschi e la femmina sulle slitte che unisce le spalline è scivolato fuori dalla slitta muovendolo verso il basso nel regolarlo, ed attenzione perché non si può rimettere nella slitta sulla spallina, così esaminando il pezzetto di plastica ossia la femmina della chiusura mi sono accorto che era appena deformato dal calore e, non ho capito se era così dallo stampaggio o se lo scaldano magari un pochetto prima di inserirlo sulla guida, ma comunque ho risolto il problema facendo due buchi dietro la guida sulla spallina, e dopo con due strip da elettricista le ho fatte passare sulla fessura della chiusura femmina, che dopo tutto sommato adesso è più pratico da chiudere una volta indossato lo Zaino, ed molto più robusto, logico che l'importante è misurare dove piazzare la chiusura anteriore, che risulterà sempre fissa.

Gostei muito da mochila, porém, veio com início de descostura na alça... estou avaliando em devolver ou troca... e um leve detalhe na parte refletora lateral... se não fosse isso estaria 100% satisfeito, meu receio de troca é vir outra pior, além do prazo de entrega.
