Waterproof Cycling Ruck sack / Rucksack / Back pack / Backpack / Backpacks

We stock Karrimore in Brixton if you want to try one on.

A cheap rucksack is usually more than enough mate, after all you're going to school, which I assumed isn't that far away on a bicycle.

when I was a kids, my parents made me ride to school (which is 3 miles away), because at the time they were struggling, I have to use those really old canvas rucksack my father use when he was trekking Africa like this;

Well at least now you're a grown up you got to pick something totally different to what your folks made you use... :)

Is it wrong that I quite like the look of that bag that Scott posted? Yes, I thought so too.

These are awesome day-packs - what I used when I was trekking in Nepal - pretty comfy, completely waterproof, not too big, lightweight and CHEAP :)

Alpkit are really good to deal with too and make a lot of clever but well priced kit.

cause the karrimors have stiff backs

I ride with one of these, Wind 25 it's called. I like it very much, it's as comfy as kitten fur socks and it was reduced from £60 to £15 at Lillywhites.

Can nay grumble.

Get yourself down TK Maxx. I got a Vango 35 litre jobby, rigid padded back (this really helps - used to feel loads of stuff diging into my back with old rucksack), room for a water pouch and line, fully adjustable shoulder, waist and chest straps, loads of pockets, reflective piping for £15. Here it is for £22:

You don't need 'the best' one, and 'the best' is subjective anyway. If it does what you want and looks okay, it's the right one.

I'd get this and rock it hard.


ok thanks for the advice then guys, i think i know what i need now :) and @ed - did you get the stem and school is 7 miles away so generally normal bags become very uncomfortable. . .

^ 99p start.

^ Fuck me is that Action Man riding a dolphin? I am in there.

why do all the threads i start end up with that gif ^ :S

Deuter bags are good. I have one with a mesh thing to hold the back away from your back which is designed to reduce your sweating. I still sweat, but less...;)

It is written.
It is your destiny.

PS I recommend North Face rucksacks.

Phwoor, fit bag!

Hmm - my digital SLR would love that bag. I have really nice CSS canvas one but it's a mono strap type thing so isn't actually that comfy for long periods.

Ha ha!

Ah so after trying a load on im torn between:
lowe alpine airzone 35
and
deuter trans alpine 30

the deuter is more expensive and i havent tried it on but the reviews are glowing but then again its smaller. . .

choose whichever the cheapest, shirely school isn't that far away.
