Strengths: Compact, light, stays in place without a waist strap(which are uber anoying anyway), has just enough storage for the essentials without looking like a bulky backpack.
Weaknesses: bladder is not quickly removable for endurance races(buy 2 of these for 12+ hour races)
Bottom Line:
Took this thing out the first day i bought it for about a 4 hour ride and never once did i have any rubbing spots or have it twist around on me. Every now and then it will slid up and touch your neck when your on a steep decline but didn't bother me one bit.
Bike Setup: 2010 trek top fuel 8 (stock except for xt rear der., easton handlebar, bontrager x light seatpost, and set up tubeless with schwalbe racing ralphs)
