Vaude Hyper Air £45
Weight: 960g (with Aquarius 2.5L reservoir) / Reservoir not included / Adjustable size shoulder harness / 14 + 3L cargo capacity / Colours: red / Contact: www.raleigh.co.uk {middle pic]
Another pack brimming with innovative features, like the adjustable size harness system, the removable clip-on helmet holder or the integrated rain cover. There is also the zip out bellows style volume adjuster — open the zip and grab yourself an extra three litres of capacity. It’s also one of the few packs on test with a reasonably padded fin hip belt; useful if you are off the bike.
The optional Aquarius reservoir can be volume adjusted too, bringing the roll-top end to wherever you like for sealing, and it does have a quick release — careful though as it doesn’t self seal when removed. Combine these features with a good quality construction and you have a good pack for long days out.
