Osprey Manta 20 Reviews

Pros: Large, carries a lot of water, air speed really keeps your back cooler and dry, the 6 cinch down points on the pack really help keep the load close to your body, 7 different compartments to stow, rain cover included, magnetic bite piece is always where you need it

Cons: the two side pockets that hug your waste are too far back to be able to grab things out on the go, I would like them to be a little further forward on my stomach, or adjustable

Recommendation: This pack is everything I need. I sometimes take my dslr camera on rides when I know I am going into scenic areas, it carries that no problem. I can carry an extra outfit and shoes if I really didnt mind all the weight. I use this bag while commuting to work and I can carry breakfast, my camera, shoes, a jacket and it never feels bulky on my back. This pack does a good job of distributing the weight to points on your body A. That can handle the weight B. That does not leave you fidgeting for a better position while riding. Great pack, I plan on getting the raptor 10 for my quickies
