backpacks

well, I go with Kelty but at $75 Jahnsport, Gregory, North Face, Kelty
are similar. These are standard use age bags. Other manufacturers are
sewing for more specific uses or personal choices. You need to go into
REI or wherever n look n fondle the bags.

developing acumen for choosing a non standard bag beyond mesh pockets ect
requires on the ground and reading knowledge.

different standard bags may fit your back n biking posture differently
but with the standard lineup there the differences would be standard.

The Kelty here swallows as much as I want to carry...maybe a 1600 ? when
onmmy back the bag sensation usually disappers unless road heat goes into
the 100's then it gets sweaty at low speeds. But not bad.

I have a Tioga frame pack: practicing with it at Alder Creek the damn
thing ruined my feet from size 14E to 15EE

Thanks. We have MEC here. I'll go check them out.

Built-in AvaLung® is an air pocket and breathing tube that provides a supply of oxygen from the snowpack and directs exhaled air away, thus preventing CO2 contamination. Integrated with the shoulder strap, it's been improved for better airflow and neater integration of the valve box so it doesn't press against your shoulder.

Should have a lung for that price.

I was looking more at this one:

Still a bit expensive but I have to go there and check them out. There
are several similar.

~20 liter. I've seen some made by Deuter that seem good but I don't
know this brand. Looking for something fairly light and vented to
reduce sweat.

Deuter Futura 28
North Face Hot Shot

Actually have no idea about the venting, but these are good backpacks if
you're going to be taking along a laptop.

Maybe occasionally but I try to leave the laptop at work. When I say
venting, I mean on the back. The CamelBack that I use has vents along
the material where it hits your back so it gets some air flow to keep it
cooler. Some backpacks made for cycling have this but I don't think the
North Face does. I haven't looked at the Deuters except on line so I'll
check when I see them.

Nylon bags may need weldwood patching ifn ura lucky in uh 3 years ? or one sharp hooking thingee.

Per Duane:
I need something a little larger.

Maybe somebody with experience can comment on messenger bags.

I have one, but have not used it much. OTOH, the thing is practically
bottomless.... holds a huge amount.... and seems fairly comfortable.

I'm looking for something snug on my back. Don't need it to carry much.
