i got my hemlock small for $48! whoo! i did post up that sale link couple months ago. Anyway, every couple of weeks I have to ride a very short distance (1.5mile) to carry over 10lbs of cat litter. My mess bag used to make this trip very uncomfortable. The strap will really dig in to my collar bone with 10lb+ weight. But the hemlock is great. Kitty litter + some other groceries + Fahgettaboudit U-lock, no pain.
