I'm still thinking about getting one of these. How far up your back does it go? Have you tried filling it and how does it sit when full, on your waist? Does my bum look big in this? 20140411_200956.jpg 20140411_200948.jpg Bag stuffed with softshell jacket, down jacket and front pocket with two bean...

Montane bum ba....err, Bat Pack 6! WRT OS map for scale and also in the post recently!

+1 on dealing with the nobber

Your final paragraph sums up my opinion, if you want it, can afford it and gets you where you want to go.....go for it.

NIce looking bike ... but no mention of price? Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought one of the ideas/ethos of bike Bivi/Fat bikes was that it was a minimalist thing with as little moving parts on a bike as possible and to keep weight down? As a keen fatbiker I couldn't agree more. I do think the f...

What's one of those?

26" wheels, 2" tyres, suspension?

/Looks at Fargo with none of those....

Prices were something like $4-5000!

Theres a long flight of steps near me from cliff top to beach. Fatty rolls most of them with ease but the last 20 or so its almost buckeroo time! That's where this would come in. :D

As for the purpose, looking back at those pics of Cavedale......

Ah, I see the poppers now. Terrible idea!

Happy with my Humvee 3/4 shorts. They've lasted/washed well and the liners are comfy. Only downside is that the mesh behind the knees has caught on the zipties holding on a cable and plucked a hole. Not really enduras fault.

Very cheap but want to use it for commuting when I'm not use my nice stuff??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310776972716?var=610221430777&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Fixed that hopefully....... I saw these and was tempted to persuade a mate to try one as he hasn't got a b...

Where is it?

I stopped at a similar arrangement in Norway once. It had a stainless clad toilet that had a makers plaque stating it was made in my home town!

Have a look at Brother Smith's modified camelbak bottle as mentioned in the bargains thread.

Ooh, that's a good idea. I'm keen to avoid bladders as I imagine they'll be easier to puncture, filling them up is a faff and I can't just lob it in the dishwasher on my return. Filling is a faff depending on design IMO. The ones with a big open top and slidey plastic clip thing work better than th...

A smidge less outrageous than rrp for a small bit of plastic.

I'm pretty sure I left it on the patio/breakfast area, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have just dumped it in the field....

Whoosh, and the Jones bars are gone.... (not me BTW)

How much are you finding them for?

Under £140 at Handtec

The bike I'm building up won't have fork bottle mounts so I was looking for a bumbag, er, fannybag, I mean Lumbar/Waist pack. Saw these reduced at Blacks, looks pretty good for £20 (+postage but %6 cashback through Quidco) http://www.blacks.co.uk/equipment/118831-montane-batpack-6l-trail-running-bel...

Brilliant, we've got enough for a pair of Alpineseals. Asymmetric gloves, it's the next big thing.

Maxxis Beavers staying firmly in place....

Was this at your place? I think I brought one back from the BB200 and no one claimed it....

To be fair, it is a promo brochure for bike dealers, isn't it?
