Lixada Cycling Rucksack, 18L Waterproof Bike Backpack Breathable and Lightweight Running Backpack for Fitness Running Hiking Climbing Camping Skiing Biking Trekking

I was a little reluctant to buy a proper cycling bag as I always got away with regular rucksacks before. After switching from occasional hybrid bike use to riding a road bike 10+ miles everyday, I started taking it seriously enough to wear lycra! None of that "proper" clothing has useful pockets, you basically need an aerodynamic man-bag for a few little essential. Regular rucksacks are bulky and flap about, and you tend to fill them up with "extras" which weigh more and slow you down.This is the perfect alternative, its very light, big enough to throw in a spare jacket, inner tubes, tools, a snack etc. Its not quite big enough for all that and say a spare change of clothing and your lunch, unless you used the outer pockets maybe. So its a great size for leisure riding, but I'd say borderline for a commute, and you certainly won't get a laptop in or anything like that. That said, I had to use my laptop rucksack recently on my commute, not only does the extra weight slow you down, its nowhere near as comfortable, and it makes my back sweat a lot more. Really made me appreciate how comfortable this bag is and how its far more breathable on your back. I am six foot and overweight and the straps, including the shoulder and waist fit me fine. The should straps are wide, strong, padded and really comfy, you hardly know you're wearing it.It comes with a really useful phone pocket on the right shoulder strap that can hold my Nexus 6P and the outer pocket holds my keys. This is quite useful for bluetooth heart monitors as the phone is near the monitor strap and is less likely to lose connection. There's a small outer pocket on the front of the bag that I use for my bulky wallet. There's a few compartments in the main bag including one large one you could use for A4 size documents and a couple of smaller elasticated netting ones for little items. When I get off the bike somewhere I am not sure of I take all my stuff with me. 4 lights, Nexux 6 phone and bike holder, action camera, tailpack, and put them in the bag. I put my helmet in the built-in netting cover, and my drinks bottle in the outer pockets. Its pretty much fully laden and although you are aware of it more it still works well.The bag looks great, and appears more expensive than it is. I actually use the waterproof cover all the time as its hi-viz, and makes an aerodynamic shell over the bag. I've only tested it in light rain but there were no issues there, I would expect it to hold up to a heavier downpour fairly well. I've used it everyday for a month and apart from dirt on the hi viz cover it looks like new and shows no signs of wear or splitting etc.I am really happy with this so far and its definitely had plenty of use and looks like it will last well. I will report back here if there's any problems.

So i bought the bag for my daily cycle commute to work and i have been using it for about a week . It comes in a number a number of colours but i opted for the yellow one. Be seen, be safe and all that. The bag is very comfortable to wear, it has a chest strap and waist strap which are well made and stops the bag from moving around. There is reflective strips on the bag itself and also on the shoulder straps. However it also comes with a hi-viz rain cover which i use all the time. The rain cover has Velcro straps at the top which fixes to the shoulder straps and is elasticated so it can be paced around the underside of the bag to secure it in place. There is a separate mobile phone pouch (same colour as the bag and same material) which can be hooked onto the shoulder strap once you have the bag on. To be honest i haven't used it, i put my mobile inside the bag. The rear side of the bag (the bit that lays against your back) has an air flow design, i guess that's the breathable bit. Inside the bag itself there's enough room for my bike tools, pump, mobile phones. I've also had my work trousers, t-shirt and a small amount shopping. Overall a great purchase and would recommend this product.

Wow. Hard to know where to start here. I got this bag for a two-week cycle trip round Vietnam, in hot, hot, hot conditions. This bag of sheer wonder was light, durable and cleverly designed. There's lots of nice and genuinely useful features (e.g. straps over the side-pockets so you can adjust and tighten a smaller bottle in there - dead handy). The waterproof layer is nicely stored in a front-pocket; used only once but effective (I can't comment on long-term use as only one rain shower). I used a waterproof bag inside the bag, just to be sure.Two weeks, no signs of use, looks new. I'm hoping for lots more use and it really gives you confidence.

I was disappointed with this simply because it was so large. I am 5’5”and female and have had many rucksacks over the last 55 years but this is the first one that was too big for me to wear. I tried shortening all the straps and whatever I tried it was just too big . Disappointing as it had lots of useful features, such as the helmet net, the high vis waterproof cover and lots of compartments. Sadly I had to return as it was just too large.

I would say im pretty high end when it comes to kit. I really took a punt when I ordered this, safe in the knowledge that I could return it.It arrived next day and to be to the point, I love it! Its well built and show my Camlebak for what it really is...a massively over priced bag.This is full of pockets and features, i love the bright yellow waterproof colour.Is it as well built as my Camelbak? Hell no, but its not five times worse ? No way..I love.Buy it..try it...get out on your bike ...you will love it.

I've been using this for about two years and it's done well, rain cover is a nice touch, pouch for water bladder...If you can keep the majority of your 'stuff' in work then this a good option, as it's small and light. You could get trousers and a shirt in there but not shoes.The phone holder is good and works, I used it for about a year but now put phone in top-tube bag.Smaller pocket on front is good for keys and the inside has the main space, as well as a few small pockets.Like I say two years and no sign of any dodgy stitching or faults.

I have purchased a few bags over the years, but for using on my bike this has to be the best yet. Compact, light weight, adjustable to fit as I need it. Love the colour (Yellow) stand out & be seen. Been out in a lot of rain of late but everything inside was good not even damp. On my daily commute I can fit my thermos, sat nav complete in hard case, box of sandwiches, water proof leggings & over shoes, cycle lock ect & have a bit of room to spare you wont fit a 15"laptop in but it could handle a standard size tablet Very pleased with this purchase. A bag designed especially for us cyclists. Would recommend.
