bg: ergon bd2

So I just wrote up an elaborate ergon bd2 pack review and then somehow lost it. Here is the cliff notes.

As a lifetime bike commuter and one that performs 90% of their weekday training on the commute I consider myself an authority on cycling packs.

After 3 weeks of daily commuting with the BD2 I am convinced it is the most well engineered and constructed bike pack available.

Why?

-Adjustable fit: you can place the load where it needs to be, on the hips. Adjusts to your torso size.

-Comfort: no hot spots even with a pack full of rocks, Tinker style.

-Freedom of movement: even under load the upper extremities are never strangled.

-Secure: While sprinting out of the saddle this pack does not sway from side to side and will not slide up your back during steep descents.

-Quality construction: waterproof zippers, quality buckles, well executed materials.

-Unique features: lumbar lordosis stash pocket for allen keys, gels, maps or anything you need to get at while riding. Water proof rain fly for rallying through a blizzard and having dry undies at work.

I have yet to use it with a bladder for an epic MTB ride but after my commuting experience am positive this baby is perfect for all day adventures. The one draw back I see is the size. As a 15L pack it fits my lunch and clothes perfectly but leaves little room for extras like a laptop, more lunch, small animals, large bike parts, more lunch, toys, power tools, 2L bottles of fresca, or many layers of winter clothes after an afternoon heat wave.
