When choosing a cycling backpack, there are a couple of important considerations to make in order to get the right product for you. First, you’ll want to ensure that your backpack has an adjustable chest strap to stop it from moving around too much when you’re on the move. Second, consider which size backpack you’ll need.

Ideally you’ll want just enough room to carry your essentials - if you get a backpack that is too large you’ll be carrying unnecessary weight which of course will slow you down over longer rides. Backpacks with a capacity of around 15-30L are a safe bet for most riding scenarios. Finally, if you’re going to be commuting to work, some cycling specific backpacks include a separate wet laundry compartment which is great for keeping your sweaty riding gear away from your other belongings.

Hydration Backpacks

If you’re covering serious distances, a hydration pack is worthy investment as it will allow you to comfortably carry around 2-3L of water which is much more than you can fit in frame mounted water bottles. Most hydration packs will also be designed to carry the basics like weather protection, maps and energy bars which means you’ll be able to stay out on the trails longer! It is important to pick the right size hydration pack for the type of riding you’ll be doing as whilst larger capacity models will allow you to carry more H2O, you’ll also be carrying more weight which isn’t fun when you’re only out for a quick blast along the trails.
