This sporty rucksack from Alpinestars is expandable, so you can make sure it’s compact if not fully packed. It’s well built with an integral red rain cover in the base, the helmet carrier in the front pocket and a sunglasses pouch accessible from outside.
Internally, there is a single compartment with neoprene dividers and the back has multiple raised padded sections for comfort and airflow while the waist-belt wings have zipped pockets. It just took the packing kit but it was a bit of a squeeze and it sits fairly low, so a sports tuck gives plenty of room.
The straps were easy to adjust, with large tabs and doubled-up to prevent flapping. The solid back held it well against the body and the waist-belt wings took a lot of the weight like a larger rucksack. It was stable and the pull-up rain cover kept all water out.
