My new favorite bag... Camelbak Octane 14
Posted By Andy
I got the Camelbak Octane 14 as an alternative to the standard backpack that I have used so long. With the intentions of using this bag for school books and a computer carrier while still being able to use it for epic mountain bike rides I found this to be a tall order on some bags. The thing that makes this bag most special is the expandable flap that allows this bag to go from carrying one spiral notebook and some power bars to a giant hole that would easily fit a couple books, notebooks and maybe my laptop shows this bags functionality. I love the red and black color scheme on the bag and it will definitely be seen on the road. My only real gripe thus far is the lack of reflective stripes on the bag. All in all with Camelbak's long time staying power in the industry I trust this bag will more than fulfill my needs.
