I use it on my adventure motorcycles,I find it to be very comfortable and easy to drink from on the move!The fit and the way it is made is excellent.I was using a backpack bladder before!This Epic 10.3 is a game changer!

10.3 sidepocket and other Issues

I have now ridden over 100 miles with the 10.3 pack and the side pockets are holding CO2 cannisters and multi tool that seems to be too heavy for comfortable use. As a MTB coach these items needs to be readily available during practices with the team. For anything in the back pockets you have to take off the pack completely to access it so I consider that only for emergency and less likely used tools etc. Additionally a full bladder is difficult to put in the assigned pocket so for expedience I only fill it to 2/3 which means the 3L effectively becomes a 2L bladder instead. If you fill it completely it's a bit of a struggle to put in the pocket in the bag. And a minor note is that the bladder locking buckle has an extra piece of material that makes it more difficult to insert into the bladder. That could be trimmed a bit more and does not need to be a slider. Finally, here in arizona everything is still getting sweatty and if the bag is heavy it's still uncomfortable but maneageble.

Doesn't get any better

This pack is exactly what I was wanting. After several miles riding single track it has performed perfectly. We'll designed, stays on you with little movement and I no longer have any hot spot on the back. Purchase this pack and you won't be sorry. This company is first class from their product to their customer service.
