smallish day sack

[dazdidge]

In my bid to get fit I am going to start cycling to work, or at least half way to start off with. It is an 8 mile round trip (halfway) and I done it last night to time myself.
I am looking for a small daysack that I can fit my lunch, lightweight waterproof jacket and trousers and a chain/padlock etc. I did have a rather nice one that I managed to pick up in a closing down sale, but swmbo decided to leave it up the Lomond Hills in Fife last year :roll:
I am not looking for anything expensive/lightweight, just something to do the job and have found this at much cheapness http://www.gelert.com/products/horizon_25l_rucksack
Has anyone tried one of these? Or can you recommend something else around the same price range?

cheers

This will do very well for what you want;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Karabar-Ultra-Lightweight-Approved-Backpack/dp/B004YQC48M/ref=pd_sim_sg_2

for a fiver. Or even less if you look at other suppliers. Bags67 has it at 3.50 Quid; Watch out for delivery costs!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B004YQB8KM/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

This is 8.95 quid at the moment;

Again, bags67 has it for 3,50 but they scam you on delivery costs!

Sorry, but I can't recommend anything "at the same price range" you asked for, far too expensive!

Quite happy to go much cheaper, in fact the cheaper the better. All I care about is that it is comfortable and doesn't keep slipping off the shoulders whilst cycling. It wont have much in it so a 10ltr might just do the trick.

cheers for the links guys

I have it, use it on my motorbike. Very robust.  I paid a bit more for it when I bought it, that's a good offer.

A wee cycle into Tesco tomorrow then to have a look. How sturdy/stiff are the backs on the Tesco ones? There's nothing worse than feeling the contents digging into your back.

I normally go with highlander forces, for the price can't beat them.

I think they're ok - gave mine to my dad, still haven't got it back  :roll:

Sticking an old piece of carrymat down the back will work wonders though.

This shop has a reasonable selection.
