If your a bigger rider, waist bigger than 36 inches. Do not keep reading, this will not fit you.
Dakine should of sold extender or make the waist strap fit up to a 40 inch waist.
Pack quality is real nice, lots of lil spots to sneak in small tools you need. Front cell phone pouch just barely fits a iPhone 13. Water tube is just long enough to use while riding.
Return or get motivated to lose weight? Just very disappointed Dakine does not understand their customers.
Took this on a 96 mile ride and did not regret. There is room for bike tools and food. I did not use the hydration sack so had additional space for a bike lock and food. Did not even notice it was there when riding. Backpacks become uncomfortable for me after about 30-40 miles of riding so this was a welcome alternative. Like the zip pocket in the padded waist belt to store keys/wallet for easy accessibility. Purchased this on sale so the price was right as well. Anticipate using it frequently, including for bike touring in the future.
I use this bag while riding dual sport motorcycles. The water bladder is good for riding hard for a half day and even more. The great hip pads ensures the pack stays secure. Several itemized pockets to keep things organized.
I use this for my 30 minute ride to work. It is so nice to have my tube, pump, levers, lunch, + hydration of choice, all with no back pack. Check this product out- the design features are many and well thought out. I really love it.
