1) Revelate Egress in front. Revelate Designs suggested I go with the Egress instead of the Yakataga. I was hoping the Yakataga's zipper would be easy to open on the fly while riding, but RD said don't count on it. It's a heavy duty zipper that isn't easy to open. I'm carrying a ton of lightweight stuff in the pack. Windbreaker jacket, banana, arm warmers, wallet, skull cap, an old Nalini vest. I cannot access the stuff while riding, but i find I'm ok with that. My buddy and I like to take breaks and take photos, chat, etc. I'm using this with my Wahoo out-front mounted Bolt. It works.

I just got the Egress too--used it yesterday for the first time. Fits a TON of stuff. I think it'll be perfect for shorter trips where I only want to deal with one bag. Could be a little easier to put on/take off, but not a deal-breaker at all.
