By a long suffering Mrs Fat Lad!
Fat lad has been looking for a new riding bag for months. Originally he had a Camalback Cloudwalker then in a moment of Fat Lad madness it was upgraded to a Camelback Mule (even though at the time I commented that all his riding gear would not fit in it), now a new bag is needed as all the riding gear does not fit in! Resisting the temptation to say I told you so…..
However now Fat Lad has become picky, even demanding in his ultimate bag requirements.
It must be: –
Small and compact
Have lots of outside pockets for Fat Lads camera, phone, car keys, house keys, bike pump…
Have an individual compartment for water
Have pockets on the belt (like batman)
Have compartments in the large internal part of the bag (to stop all the random items Fat Lad packs in his bag from bunching together at the bottom)
Have straps so it can be compressed when not completely full
So far in the quest for the Ultimate bag we have looked at North Face Bags in Glasgow on our wedding anniversary, Camelback and North Face on a day out in the Yorkshire Dales and Dakine whilst shopping for holiday bags. There is no end to where Fat Lad will travel to find his Ultimate bag. We can’t go out without going into a bike shop.
The current thinking is that a Camelback HAWG may be suitable so now we need to go find a shop that sells them, just to check that it fits most of Fat Lads demands!
Please give Fat Lad some bag advice so I can get my sanity back.
Mrs Fat Lad
