The Osprey Manta is by far the most comfortable pack I have had the privilege of using for biking. In particular the Manta’s suspension system is superior to the primitive offerings held out by many bike-specific manufacturers. It is well-thought out for cross-country/all-mountain applications, barring some nitpicks. However, it might not be the best pack for anyone who has to carry a lot of armour as it lacks external attachment straps. Continue reading →

from Fort Collins, CO, US Date Reviewed: May 10, 2011 Strengths: The best part of Osprey's hydration packs is the Nalgene reservoir. It has a rigid back which helps it keep its shape as you drink, and it slides into a full pack easily. Also the magnetic valve/sternum strap is great. Nice fit, lots of organizeable storage, rain cover....yadda yadda. Weaknesses: The Manta isn't specifically designed for biking (like the Viper & Raptor) and is billed as a multi-sport pack. Thus, the Manta isn't quite as pedal-friendly when it comes to pack stability, and lacks "bike-specific pocketing" (whatever that is). More expensive than some comparable packs but I think you get what you pay for.
