We tested the Osprey Raptor 10 backpack during a VTC outing on the shores of Lake Annecy between Albigny beach (Annecy le vieux) and Doussard beach). Duration of the outing: 1h45 for 40 kilometers.
First of all it should be noted that the bag is sold with a water pouch. The price therefore includes these 2 elements. The hydration hose is equipped with a magnetic clip, no more need to wedge the hose in a strap, no more stray hose.
On the top of the Raptor 10 the attachment system LidLock™ allows you to easily attach your helmet to the backpack.
For a 10-litre bag, it is composed of different compartments adapted to each use:
- On the bottom of the bag a compartment for the material: to be able to store a key, a room with air...
- A pocket with a dedicated water pocket compartment
- A main pocket to store: a kway a camera (there is a mesh pocket).
- a small pocket on the top of the bag with a compartment for wallet or smartphone + an attachment for keys so you don't lose them. Anti-scratch protection for the smartphone screen.
- A mesh pocket on the top for a vest, its kway so that it is easily accessible.
- 2 hip pockets, handy to put a snack.
At the carrying level, this bag is worn on the reeds and also an adjustable strap at the level of the size. Its back is breathable.
The Raptor 10 from Osprey is a bag designed for cycling and at the same time very complete. It integrates a water pocket, it allows you to leave for the day and have enough water, 3 liters pocket. This bag is compartmentalized and allows you to store everything you need.
