I don't like anything on my body ... backpack or messenger bag. But thats due to commuting in Austin TX and most of the year it is a sweat fest. It's finally cooled off, but last week we were still pushing 90* and having anything touching my body during my 45 min hilly 11 mile time trial just doesn't work
