Oakley's latest MTB pack has improved on his predecessor the 'MTB Pack' with useful features. Retaining the clever helmet stow and improving on it by replacing the webbing with a compression panel with straps which is both more convenient and aesthetically pleasing. Immediately underneath is a goggle compartment which could also house eyewear with folding earstocks. Ironically, it could not accomodate rigid eyewear like Pro M Frames and Racing Jackets which are popular with MTB riders. On either side are open pockets that could hold kneepads or water bottles. I personally use them to store Camelbak bottles. A flexible integrated mobile phone holder on each shoulder strap feels more secure but will not protect against rain or water splashes. Another new welcomed feature is an audio player compartment similar in appearance as the one Kitchen Sink Pack but smaller. It's enough to fit an iPod and headphone case. It has a cord pass-thru on top in which I use an iPod Radio Remote to control my player while riding. My remote clips on the shoulder strap making it easy to reach and operate. Internally there is a wealth of features not found in the previous pack including a mesh pocket for cash or keys or small tools, an ID pocket, a tire pump pocket with elastic cord retainer, an elastic strap provision for a spare tire - although I couldn't get one to fit, It holds a Surefire flashlight or a Multitool better. Also an elastic mesh pocket Oakley claims holds a PDA or GPS device. I don't know of any PDA that could fit there but a mobile or iPod fits snugly. And finally, Oakley retains the all important hydration sleeve which could fit a 3-liter bladder. The tube holes are now on each side which I believe is more ergonomic. Overall an exceptional pack for the trails. The compartment is big enough for a heavy jacket and packed foods but not too big that crates too much air drag and makes you less nimble. It's also a high-tech-looking everyday urban pack with it's big ominous metal icon logo gracing the top - a testament to it's form and functionality attributes.

Just a radical bag! I love wearing this bag around, it's comfortable and it looks super gnarley. The pouches for glasses/goggles and MP3 player are an awesome touch. Plenty of cool pockets and things that add storage. Zipper pulls even shout innovation. This bag is small but definatey brings plenty of things to the table.

Awesome bag! This bag has a lot of function but is still small enough to use anywhere. The sunglass compartment is very nice and I think it offers fairly good protection. There is also a little pocket for your mp3 player. This is an awesome bag and the design itself is very unique.

I bought this bag when I was on holiday in Queensland. As soon as I saw it in this little surf shop in Townsville I pounced. Has awesome functionality and heaps of room for your stuff. I especially like the compression molded google case at the front.Very cool bag....awesome!! I would rate this bag 4 stars BTW..

This bag is suped up version of the Pack Two. A little smaller with a lot more functions. Not only can one use this for MX but I would use it for Snowsports as well since you can store your goggles in the built in hard case and a Helmet holder. There is also a place for a Camelback and a hole for its straw. Just plain awesome bag. Very compact bag and has similarities to the KS pack and Pack Two.
