Two dislocated shoulders (one rebuilt - hoping the other heals fully w/out cutting) means a messenger bag is actually more comfy on the bike than a backpack. also, outside of hydration units there seem to be few all weather worthy 2-strap backpacks intended for bikers. As someone who bikes to work in most weather this review siynched it for me. I've already handled the Chrome backpacks, I own their messenger bag with the metal clip buckle as well as their old-style messenger bag with the standard strap. I will go to the Dually for a cycling backpack! Thanks for allowing other riders to benefit from your experience. - Elvis Thanks a zillion for this.

I had one of the old one-shoulder bags and came to DESPISE it. After a long day on the bike, I'd end up with such a crick in the neck and a raw shoulder to boot. I use a camelbak pack these days. It's got a fair amount of storage space, plus the water bladder which has become quite a convenience. Looks like a better design. I had one of the old one-shoulder bags and came to DESPISE it.

Yeah, after my experience with Banjo Bros., I picked up a medium-sized Chrome Roll-Top model, since Chrome is a team sponsor (i.e., I a price discount) and I know their stuff is bombproof. Haven't used it yet, but out-of-the-box impressions are, well, impressive. The thing is a wee bit bigger than I'd prefer, but the capacity is astounding and the appearance is right up there as well. This one looks built to last. Great review, Jeff.
