How would this do for carrying, say, a Gatoraide bottle of pre-mix? On a long ride, the weight of my pack is about equally distributed among gas, Mountain Dew, and tools (when my dad's riding with me, he usually carries the bulk of the tools.)
It looks great for lots of smaller items but I question its effectiveness with big, bulky things. I could be wrong.
All depends. In the back there is a bigger pouch in the middle that could hold a bottle of gatoraid. Also, on the sides in both front and back, there are inner zippers that can hold things. Pause at 2:19 , the back not only has a pouch for camel back, in front of that is another one that's big enough for the bottle. Also, check out the left side of the video. Both left and right have big long pouches in the back on both sides of the thing. its a vest, but it goes quite far for a vest
anyone beyond what it holds can be supplemented with either a backpack or a box on the bike, for what I've been carrying so far it can hold more than I was comfortable with doing with just a backpack.
It's about $120. Just a backpack with camel back is like $50 to $60 dollars and this is much easier to wear than a camel back which doesn't really have any room for tools.
i would NOT wear that with all the tools in it when im riding what if you crash your gonna be black and blue from all those things when u land on them probably would even break some ribs too
That was my concern, I should have put that in the video, however the tools are packed tight and there's padding. You also put it over your chest protector and once i wore it you can see that you would be fine. It doesn't add any danager, if you were going to break a rib you would break it without this. The guy who reccomended it is a big time rider and he said he's crashed very hard with this and had no problems. You should see his bike, it's 2008 KTM 300 but you'd never know it he beat it
yeah it didnt look like it had much padding from the vid but i never though of putting a chesk protecter on with it lol can you tell i don't wear them haha
Actually, had the wrong brake arm on it and had to extend the chain with 2 master links. Ended up hacking up 2 master links that weren't for the chain so was bound to happen. I have fixed this now with the correct brake arm and master link.
can i wear this as a back protector??

why do you like the old bike more

lots of reasons. They're more powerful, they look better, they were built to last, they have less moving parts so less to work on.
