Rad bag with good functionality

I used this bag on a two week hiking trip. Haven't used it for biking. The Dakine Nomad is too small, so I upgraded to this bag on sale from backcountry outlet for $79. The front compartment has real good mesh pockets to keep things separated and makes items easy to access. The small side pockets are really handy and not offered on the nomad. The only complaint is the straps that hold your helmet in place have to be unbuckled to get into the main pockets, so it's a small hassle but works well for bag compression. I'm 6'2" and found the back to sit high and small, but that's a good thing in a biking bag. The water reservoir has a nice clip on the shoulder strap to keep the mouthpiece in place. Water stayed cold for a long time, even on desert hikes. the straps on the bottom for leg armor is also handy for sleeping bags and towels. Sunglasses pocket at the top of the bag is pretty clutch. Also good for cameras. Overall a real versatile bag that i'd reccomend. (black color is kind've boring)
