I use 'em too 😀
Mostly the same comments as people above i.e. side pockets are soooo useful and is very comfy. The 2.5 is my favourite - swallows plenty of kit including a Lezyne micro floor drive (mini track pump). I really don't like using 'normal' backpacks now.
I think/thought the trouble with the zips was just with the earlier metal ones.
Hey CG if you have a shoulder injury these packs are a winner (if you like packs - and frame mounting stuff is not your thing).
Also for those that sweat a lot - I find that in the summer the wing nut is much cooler than the Deuter packs I used to favour.
This thread reminded me I was going to check these out... Ordered a 3 which came this week and after a first ride today i'm most impressed - lots of space, stable and really unobtrusive..
It is rather on the pricey side compared to the alternatives but it works really well and I guess it's inevitable that you pay a bit of a premium for what is probably a lot lower volume (sales-wise) than camelbak etc
jota - is it this one that won't fit in your 2.5?
Can it be angled?
My lezyne micro floor pump fit's a 2.5.
Just.
I think its longer than a mountain morph too.
flatfish - ah,yours must be 300mm length then?
frogstomp - glad you're pleased following so many glowing reports!
Not got it to hand but it must be something like that.
CG - you're welcome to try my one (you're local to me?) to help you decide.. it doesn't feel like a 'big' bag..
OK, I now have the 2.5 Wingnut and a Hydrapak 1.5 bladder. 8) But I don't understand how to use a Camelbak tube in place of the Hydrapak one cos there seems to be a little spring in it. ❓
But I have managed to get my magnificent Morph Turbo in, at an angle admittedly. And how big is this Wingnut? For a bumbag, it's huge. 🙂
I had a wingnut enduro. Lasted about 3 months of fairly light use before the stiching came apart on the main straps.
Wouldn't recommend at all.
Camelbak now making something similar - look for the LR (lumbar reservoir) versions - charge and octane are the models, iirc. Reviewed towards end of last year and available in the Uk in a month or so.....
I have 2 of the 3.0 Enduros and one of them is many years old. I am happy with the quality, nothing has broken/came unstitched despite my frequent wipe-outs.
Just used my wingnut on a biking/walking/hiking trip on Skye.... No major issues. I have the big one, can't remember its name but fitted lots of stuff in there and a camelbak 3l bladder. The way it just sits on the top of the hips felt good as been suffering with my lower back of late.
Lots of rain which on the first trip meant everything inside got a soaking but was cured by using my camelbak mule waterproof cover. Apart from that would highly recommend it.
