I'd used rucksacks for years and never really saw the point of courier type bags. But then I tried using a cheap nasty one (more of a laptop bag) and it really helped when cycling. The higher position relieved the lower back pain and helped to distribute everything.
...fast forward a couple of years and I'm now in possession of one of Scott's bags. As has been said ad infinitum on here they are excellently made and incorporate all of the features you need, not just some of them (which is the problem with most other bags). When I first got the bag I really thought it was too much, too professional for me. But then when I'd got all the different straps and adjustments right (and it takes a while) it's been something of a revelation. Granted I would probably opt for something else on a long, long ride (saddle bag would be preferable) but for everything else the courier bag works so damn well. I've loaded it up with shopping, sound equipment, you name it. And it's when it's fit to bursting that it really comes into it's own. It's become ridiculously comfortable. Taking all this into account and that they are very competitively priced means they come highly recommended from me.
Anyway, I will put some pictures up soon. Are you blushing yet scott??
p.s. I'm not on scott's payroll, honest.
