Epic 10.3

Love this pack!!!

My first ride with this pack was the Kokopelli trail in 3 days. Loved it, stayed in place, held all of the stuff that I needed. The straps tightened down enough for me, 5'4 tall woman. The excess straps after cinching it down to fit is a little long but with the Velcro holders it stays out of my way. It was so nice to get a breeze across my back instead of wearing a backpack. The waist pockets allowed easy access to my phone for pictures and for snacks!!

This might be intended more for a cyclist than a motorcyclist.

I feel that the waist flaps are a bit snug for wearing over gear as a motorcyclist. I also would prefer to have the center phone pocket to be slightly bigger in its depth. I think there would be a benefit to having the panel that goes against the back to have a bit of insulation to help keep your fluids in the reservoir cooler.

This pack is very well made. The retention loops took me a bit of getting used to but once I dialed everything in the pack fits like a glove. I do wish the bite valve came with a dust/dirt cover. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. Time will tell how well it holds up under heavy use, but from the material quality I think it will last many years.
