Great pack
The pack actually only weighs 2lb 1oz on my postal scale, vs the 2.36 stated in the listing (checked vs post office so it is valid), the reservoir and tube weight 4.8oz and the tool roll weighs 2.0 oz, making this a 1lb 10oz pack if you remove those items.It does not have a rigid frame, although the reservoir has a partial rigid frame. The padded portion that your back rests on is 18″ tall and 8-10″ wide. The main compartment of the pack would fit an 18″ tall, 8″ wide item (laptop?) if it was 1.5″ thick or less. There’s a spacious 10×8″ open top jacket stuffing area, a 9″wx8″tx2″ deep top pocket, almost exactly the same size back pocket with netted dividers in it, the “tool roll” pocket is 9″wx6″tx3″ deep and there are 2 hip pockets that are mesh on all sides that would hold a larger pair of curved sunglasses but that’s about it each (would not fit most cell phones).There are two mesh pockets on the outside of the main pouch that would fit narrow water bottles well, but only fit a 32oz nalgene with difficulty and in doing so intrude greatly into the internal space.I am 5’11 275lb with a 56″ chest and 53″ waist at the belly button, and the sternum strap fits my chest with 2″ to spare and the waist strap fits with no spare room with only a t-shirt on, so this should fit most people I imagine. In my proper sizing for an internal frame pack I take a 22″ frame but this still fits/feels fine.The straps and back panel have great mesh air flow throughout and really keep you from getting wet from sweat in those areas. In typical osprey fashion, the materials and build quality are excellent throughout.The pack is a bit short on attachment points for external gear, which is a bit of a shame on a pack this small, but there is a helmet attachment location and a couple other points that at least give you the minimum options needed for the basics. The tool roll would fit tools that are a maximum of 7″ long and 4″ wide, if you don’t plan to use it for bike tools its of reasonably versatile shape/size so I’m sure you could use it as a lightweight toiletry bag or for other gear.The sternum strap is a somewhat innovative magnet and hook design that mostly works, it does sometimes magnet itself to the reservoir end which is annoying, and isn’t a big improvement over a standard sternum clip so I’m not sure if you will like that or not. Waist strap is pretty standard but feels pretty light-duty compared to the build quality on the rest of the pack.I would expect most people to find this pack comfortable with a 10lb load, maybe pushing to 15 max. It is a great size/shape/weight for a daypack and I think it is of a size that counts as a carry-on for most airlines, at least in practice if not their official sizing.

Excellent backpack with hydration
I purchased this bag primarily for hiking even though itâs marketed as a bicycling bag. I tend to drink a lot of water when I hike, especially in the summer months. But, I never liked holding a bottle of water in my hand, and if I carry a bottle in my backpack I tend to not drink frequently enough because it is not easy to access.This bag has a very generous sized water bottle in it thatâs easy to access and fill. The drinking tube attaches to the right shoulder strap and is easy to reach. The bag is very lightweight and the padded straps make it comfortable to carry on my back for long periods of time.I did not intend to order the âextended fitâ version of this bag. I actually didnât notice it when I placed the order. I was concerned that I had ordered the wrong bag as the models you see carrying the bag are much larger than me. For reference Iâm 5â8â and have a 32â waist, and average to slim build. The good news is that this bag still fits me perfectly. The extended fit portion of the bag mainly refers to the extra long straps around the waist and shoulder. But they can be pulled in tight enough to fit me just fine, although admittedly Iâm pulling them in as much as possible. If I was any thinner it might be hard to get a snug fit.The bag is made of a high quality nylon and feels like a premium product. My only slight negative is that I did find some of the zippers around the smaller pockets to be hard to navigate around the corners. I hope that doesnât lead to any tearing down the road.Whether using this for cycling, hiking, or just taking a walk, if you like to drink a lot of water I think youâll really enjoy using this bag.

This backpack is a great choice for mountain biking, featuring a 2.5L Hydraulics reservoir for easy hydration on the go. The 14L capacity is perfect for carrying essentials, and the ergonomic design ensures comfort during long rides. The backpack is well-ventilated, making it a great option for intense biking sessions.Iâve used this backpack on several mountain biking trips, and itâs been fantastic. The hydration system is convenient, and the backpack fits comfortably without feeling bulky. Itâs lightweight, yet spacious enough to carry everything I need for a day out on the trails. A great choice for any avid biker.

very well designed for biking
My husband and I are trying to ride more, and since we live in a hot climate, safety and hydration are key. This Osprey men’s Raptor backpack is perfectly designed for both. It’s got a 2.5 liter hydration sleeve inside, with an attached tube that sticks to the chest strap with a magnet for quick access. That is a LOT of water, which is perfect for us. The bag has tons of pockets, including one that has a tool roll inside where we can bring along anything we need for quick fixes. Lots of smaller pockets inside the bag for small objects, snacks, etc. The chest and waist straps are ventilated and comfortable, and there are small zipper pockets at the waist for quick access to necessities while riding. The back of the bag is also extremely well-ventilated, with space between the padded back and a mesh piece that touches the body, so air can flow between. It’s far superior to any other backpack we have tried for biking. Just ideal for a hot climate and lets you bring along everything you need, in comfort. I did see that these packs also come in larger sizes for larger humans, and even an “extended” version for tall people. My hubs is a pretty big guy, but can wear this one, as it’s quite adjustable. If you’re not sure, note measurements on all of the various versions.
