I don’t believe many people will find this a problem, as I’m a tiny 5’2”, but it’s worth mentioning. Out on the trails, the Syncro did a great job of being forgotten about, however my short body did struggle to keep the pack from hitting my helmet on really steep terrain, where gravity pulled the bag up my body and my head was set right back. I was initially worried that the thin strap would cut into my belly on long rides, but it did no such thing. The hip-belt has a little extra padding where it attaches to the back panel, which stopped the thin straps cutting into my hips and waist. The BioStretch hip-belt and harness adjust easily and fit comfortably. It is by far and away the best system I have used during warm, arduous rides. With the Osprey Syncro, this is no longer an issue.
With all of my CamelBak bags (and even my small Ergon pack, to a lesser extent) their thick, padded underside never fails to heat up my back and soak my jersey with sweat. In practice, I’ve got to say, it really works. All you need from Alpkit for an overnight bike packing adventureįor Osprey’s signature “air-cooled riding”, the Syncro is treated to their trademark AirSpeed ventilated back panel, which is basically like a mesh trampoline in that helps suspend the bag away from your body.Bikepacking basics: bike repair and first-aid kit.Review: Camelbak Mule LR 15L Hydration Pack - feature filled and durable day pack.
Aside from a few minor fitting problems, there is a lot to love about this pack. The Osprey Syncro 20 has exceptional storage capacity with a voluminous 20 litres of well-organised space and the air-cooled back system is one of the best on the market.
