Hi there. I have a commute that consists of a cycle, train journey then a run. As such I need to carry a backpack. My problem is that my back gets drenched in sweat during the cycle leg of my journey. Can anyone recommend a backpack that let's air flow between it and your back.
Sorry, but because of the run part of the journey panniers are not an option.

). I was using my partner's Osprey Hikelite, which was a great lightweight bag with great mesh separation from the back but too small. I then started using my Osprey Talon 22, which is my daypack for hiking. I fully intended to replace it with a dedicated cycle pack so as not to wear out my hiking gear. However, I've found the Talon so comfortable that I haven't got round to it yet. I don't have a long cycle but I notice a big difference from when I first started cycle commuting and was using a more fashion-oriented Sandqvist rucksack. The Talon has a helmet attachment so I can keep my helmet on the outside of my bag for the train commute, leaving more space inside for my cycling bits and bobs, lunch and laptop when needed. If I was buying a dedicated cycle backpack, it would be the Osprey Synchro 20.
