Outdoor Cycling Bags Buying Guide

 From a big perspective, a scientific carrying system, loading system, fabric selection, and breathable and sweat-wicking design are must-haves. From a small point of view, the choice of backpack accessories, water bag outlet, sleeping bag compartment, rain cover, helmet fixing equipment, etc. All are important factors to test a cycling bag.

Let's take a look.

I. Carrying system: The backpack carrying system consists of a back panel, shoulder straps, chest straps and waist belts, and the back panel is used to support the entire backpack. A good backpack can evenly distribute the weight of the backpack. Shoulder straps, waist pads and chest straps play an important role in fixing, they must be adjusted. According to different body types, different adjustments can be made to better fix and reduce friction. In addition, the inner part of the shoulder strap and waist belt that contacts the skin should be soft and elastic, effectively changing the upper and lower friction of the upper shoulder strap or waist belt from elastic vibration. Not only does the chest strap need to be adjustable in length, it should also have a slide-type attachment point on the chest strap for easy adjustment to a personal comfortable position.

II. Fabric. General cycling bags are made of PU-coated nylon fabrics (eg: PU-coated 450D polyester, 210D nylon), which are waterproof, anti-dry, wear-resistant, and tear-resistant. Whether a backpack is durable or not, the fabric is the main determining factor. I think everyone does not want to encounter the situation that the backpack is broken when the donkey is halfway through.

III. It is designed with ventilation and perspiration wicking system. When riding, the backpack is fully buckled on the back. If the back is not ventilated during riding, it will be quite uncomfortable to cover the back with sticky sweat. A mesh resin board is added to the backpack to isolate the back and the body of the bag. Ward's cycling bag uses a 3D breathable mesh design on the shoulder straps and the inner side of the waist pad, giving the air a space to flow and effectively keeping the body contact parts dry.

IV. Whether the loading system is reasonable. Backpacks usually consist of main pockets, side pockets, and additional pockets. Riding bags will be made relatively small, generally no more than 30L, generally 10L, 14L, 18L, 20L, 25L, etc. Therefore, through the design of the bags of each part of the backpack, the objects can be better distributed, the capacity can be rationally utilized, and of course, the more important thing is to facilitate access.

Small details of the bag is also important.

I. Helmet fixing net pocket: The helmet net pocket is used to fix the helmet. When riding, sometimes it will enter the woods, or enter some relatively low places, and wearing a helmet cannot correctly judge the height. And the head will sweat after a long time of exercise, so when you take off the helmet, you can fix it on the bag with a net pocket.

II. Water bag device. A special water bag compartment is designed in the bag, which also plays a fixed role in the water bag, so that the water bag will not move in the bag when the road is bumpy. The water bag outlet is convenient for drinking water anytime, anywhere while riding. Two water bag straw fixing buckles are designed on the shoulder strap, which can fix the straw on the left or right according to the user's habits, so as to avoid the straw being swayed by the wind when it is exposed. Rain cover and sleeping bag compartment: A rain cover is necessary to protect the backpack and its contents from getting wet when it rains. The sleeping bag compartment is convenient for putting sleeping bags, not to mention. Even if you do not put sleeping bags, you can easily and quickly retrieve things through the zipper connected to the main bag.

III. High-quality webbing and fasteners: high-quality webbing has a smooth surface, soft texture, moderate astringency, strong bearing capacity, and can withstand more than 200 kg of tensile force. The workmanship of the fasteners is relatively thick, the use is flexible, and the operation of good fasteners is effortless. Once you click, you will hear a "click" sound, indicating that the fasteners have been locked. The general fasteners are hesitant and unreliable, and there is a possibility of natural detachment. .

IV. When purchasing, pay more attention to whether these points of the cycling bag are available, and choose the brand, model and capacity of the backpack according to your travel time, distance and items you bring. Among the well-reputed cycling backpacks, the cost-effective brand is China Leimande. Leimande's cycling bags are highly praised by riders for their exquisite workmanship and humanized design.
