Although I wasn’t sold on bum bags to start off with, using the Palos has changed my opinion. It’s a great riding pack that is just as well suited for short post-work trail rides as it is being used while you cut hot laps of your favourite trail centre.Posted 6 June 2017 by Wil Barrett - Read full review

One of the comfiest bumbags we’ve tried, with a great reservoir, but you need to cinch that waist strap up tight.Posted 14 November 2015 by Rob Weaver - Read full review
