I'm looking for a new backpack to replace my old hydrapak model.

Got any recommendations on what to look at?

Cheers

Steve

I have one of the DHB ones and its pretty good. I have the middle one and its comfy and has loads of room for kit. It could do with an extra pocket or two but for the money its good.

Osprey Viper can be found for under £50 and come with a high quality bladder.

Cheers all.

I cant decide now whether or not to just get a new bladder for mine as there is actually nowt wrong with the pack !

Any others to look at though?

Just get a new hydrapak bladder, IMHO, there's nothing better on the market (as bladders go). It's why evoc & Da Kine rebadge them.

Just got this yesterday - VERY like an Evoc Enduro 16, doesn't have the back protector but is a quarter of the price, has full face carry capability too like the Evoc:

Del, bought one of those in Blacks sale for £20. Use it for most short rides, but it does give me a fair bit of lower back pain in use. Probably just weak!

Endurotastic(TM)!!

In all seriousness though - feels VERY secure and stable - used it on my usual run to work and it moved about lots less than my Mule when I ran in that.
