Also a tip: the Velo backpack Unzen from Shimano

In the August 2015 issue of bike magazine, 6 bike backpacks were also tested and the Unzen from Shimano was recommended as a purchase tip. The final statement: "The Unzen sticks to your back like a frog willing to mate. The internally and externally adjustable carrying system closes like an X in front of the chest and sits very securely. Tools, mobile, glasses, hydration bladder - there's an extra compartment for everything. This puts pressure on the scales, but also keeps the pack tidy. You can access the main compartment from the side, from the left or right - very practical."
