...and are there any that work comfortably with a neck brace or am I asking for too much?
Doesn't the osprey hydration bladder have a hard spine backing
Is it any good?
I just got a Scott FR 12 pack which gets mixed review in general. However, I bought it on sale for less than half RRP as around £100 for a bag for me is ridiculous. I like it and it's got a backplate made up from D30 material which has seemed to help impacts when falling into my pack, also helps stop pumps in the bag digging in when riding or crashing. Also, it has a velcro waist strap as well as the normal strap which helps make it fit really securely.
Evoc. Not the cheapest but in my experience brilliant. Plus they? do free crash replacement on the protector.
Evoc ones are really well made well laid out, mine is good as new after years of use , not a stitch out of place. And when I slammed the door of the car on the clasp and broke it they sent me one free.
All for nothing if they don't fit you comfortably, but I'd strongly recommed them.
My camelbak kuda is working well, not crash tested it yet. Apparently it can take multiple hits before it needs replacing.
Another Evoc vote here. Very comfy to wear, loads of pockets and places inside for kit, only downside is it's a bit sweaty on the back, but that could just be me

Another vote for evoc here.
Evoc....
Just got a FR trail black line
It's huge, there is a temptation to fill it but it's the comfyist pack I've ever had.
With a neck brace... I don't know. They do sit quite high so maybe try if you csn
Another vote for Evoc , I bought mine after a close shave riding in Madeira last year . Seems huge but it sits flatter on my back than my Camelbak did and therefore is super comfy . Only downside for me is the mahoosive waist strap seems a tad unnecessary? Can make it a bit sweaty in hot conditions but it wraps itself round you feeling real secure , nice confidence inspiring . Oh and a Camelbak bladder will fit .
