This has now had almost a month's service, including a 50-odd mile ride down to the coast and lugging the requisites to the Tour of Wessex, as well as a daily commute and trotting around town.
You probably already know that this is a great piece of kit, so I've been trying to think of niggles.
I've struggled, but I've found them. Not something that would be immediately apparent, but the inside is very dark. If you've ever used a Kata camera pack, you'll appreciate the yellow interior, so much easier to find stuff. On the other hand, I'm kind of glad the inside isn't canary coloured.
Sweat pads. These aren't perfect. The Deuter airstream system works better, for example. But then you get weight and depth away from your back. They do the job enough only to worry about sweat on plus 20 degree days - and even then not terrible.
Laptop strap: this kind of gets in the way if you're not using a laptop.
There isn't the usual 'Rapha story label' inside.
As you can see, I'm struggling.
Perhaps a white Rapha stripe on the front or the back would be good on dreary mornings.
Did I mention it looks really, really good, too? In fact, non-cyclist friends have enquired where I got it from.
