I'm looking for a bag that will be durable for the trails, good for commuting. able to hold a set of scrubs, nike shoes, a few medical supplies such as trauma shears, stethoscope, ETC. oh, and a flat repair kit. This bag will be used mountain biking, commuting, and rides on the motorcycle.

I was looking at the camelbak HAWG, I have never seen one online but it looks pretty nice, got good reviews. anyone have comments on how much crap they can fit in it? Or should i just look for a backpack that holds a fluid reservoir? thanks for the help

wingnut ( https://wingnutgear.com/) makes durable bags that hold a lot of stuff and are comfortable, and can probably fit more crap than a hawg.

If youre looking for a hydration pack as well I went w/ the Dakine Amp. Big enough to for an extra set of cloths and essentials. Not sure about a mobile medicine bag though


Good luck

https://www.kriega.us/backpacks/ I have the R25 and R30..for motorcycle use, nothing compares!

oh wow those kriega backpacks look hardcore! how does it breathe? will I die in the Tulsa heat? I tried on a MULE camelbak an it was ok, it was 90 dollars at academy, kinda pricey for what ya get. I can ghetto rig a bladder into my backpack for that price! hahah, thats not my style though! all those look pretty nifty, thanks for the help thus far, and any more suggestions are welcome! BTW, anybody in the Tulsa area that goes biking? looking for some new places to go.

REI Flash 18 FTW!

Admittedly your back will get sweaty with the Kriega (assuming the stankin' hot SW and you riding without leathers), for it's purpose it's the best I've come across..no wait..there was that 'Nike Epic hardshell' backpack I had a decade ago that for the life of me they stopped making..it was "perfection"...couldnt understand why they moved on from that. Anyhoo..hows about another spendy over-designed backpack...https://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/bc3

Seriously. Big Sur.

I started out in the the 90's using minimalist 70oz. Camelbacks, mostly because of racing. Stuck with that size out of habit until 2002 or so when I picked up a Camelback Mule- 100oz. bladder and a bunch of storage, I won't be going back.

With my tool kit via small seatbag, I can carry pump, first aid, food, odds & ends rain jacket, lightweight set of clothes.

It is probably a good thing that you were able to check out the Mule in person, giving you a notion of whether it (or maybe the Hawg) has the amount of room you desire.

Some of the things I like about the Mule is the compression straps, multiple compartments, waist strap and sternum strap. These all serve to minimize the bulk and stabilize the pack so it won't annoyingly bounce around. I have not seen the Hawg, but I assume it has similar if not the same features.

The Kriega hydration pack looks very interesting, as well.
