Is this comfortable for biking? I know there are Osprey backpacks for biking but this is the most affordable one and it seems lite for biking.

I have not worn it biking, so I have no idea. But it is comfortable walking around all day in Europe and is lightweight.

I ride with mine and it is very comfortable. I do sometimes not fasten the chest strap because it can "ride" up and get a little irritating. Hope this helps.

I have used it for hiking only, but I think it would be fine for biking. The water bottle holders are small, however, and it would be best to carry water some other way.

It is very comfy for biking. The side pockets are designed horribly though and any water bottle would fall out. There is a spot for a water bag though.

Yes, so far this air mattress has performed well on bikepacking trips. It seems pretty durable and iscomfortable. It provides plenty of cushioning.

Sorry, man I just use it for cycling. However, I can tell you it does a okay on the bike. It's been a while since I used it. I use to ride; so, I can tell you most likely some air will get through...hey, but it cheap. Hope, this helped.

It is fairly comfortable as is but you can definitely feel it. I have not been on a bike in years but it is bearable.I am considering a gel cover but have not really found one as yet.

It's a heavy pack item...I was a Ranger in the Army and still pack the mountains regularly and are use to heavy weight packs and long duration hikes. I pack for the situation and normally don't let the weight get out of control. I typically use my canvas more on the vehicle type camping events. Otherwise I use a nylon tarp...Much lighter but good to go for an event of short duration. For bike or horseback, it would be just great but as I said, it's a bit heavy for a pack on a long trail.

It is light compared to other backpacks of the same thread. Also, with the 70+ miles of mountainous terrain I've put this thing through, it has proven resilient and has not given me any problems.

Depends how long you're going to hike...It's pretty breathe able but the straps aren't padded, also since baby is right next to your body it'll be hotter than a frame carrier. So they aren't as comfortable as other carriers for long times, because of no padding. That being said I have worn my 20lb 12 month old for some extended periods, usually on my front if she nurses and falls asleep. I really like my boba air, it comes in handy in lots of random situations.For long hikes we usually mostly use a frame backpack and stuff the boba air in a pocket if the backpack in case she gets fussy or wants to nurse.

I'm 6-4 220lbs and have no problems with the comfort. Used the pack to hike 70 miles on the App. Trail. Used the 3400 and hiked 120 miles. Only switched because my son needed the 3400 after his old pack gave out. It was another brand and he had it for a long time. It does need a better rain cover. The one that comes with it isn't the best quality.

Hi, Robin ... for give the delay in response. I have been away from my email. I found this item to be easy to carry and very easy to unfold. I could imagine it being very useful as temporary seating during a visit. It is not designed for comfort, but for portability and durability. Nonetheless, we found it stable and accommodating for people of different sizes while on various outdoor treks. I hope you find this response helpful.

Hi Ryan, you can definitely fit a LOT in this bag. I would go for it -- it's great for hiking and moving around because you can wear it as a backpack, and depending on where you're going, it may be better that it doesn't have wheels in case the roads aren't paved.

I haven't biked or hiked with it..but I do wear it on my 1 mile walk to work and I have traveled with it. Super comfortable and easy to wear. I would hike with it though.

This is a car or motorcycle camping tent. You want a lighter and therefore a more expensive one for backpacking. For bicycle camping you need an even lighter one or maybe not one at all. Lean toos and hammocks are good bike options. At bicycle equipment sites you can find one person tents that are rather pricey. They are tiny. This tent is comfortable for two people without gear. I have had 4 over the years. I use it for motorcycle camping when traveling and social camping events like concerts and festivals. It is good in weather and it is cheap enough that I won't be upset if it gets stolen. As with all tents, use a ground cloth. I use a 2 mil painters drop cloth, really cheap and reusable.

I have taken my Osprey Talon 22 Litre with me to both Peru and Belize on excursions and it was the perfect size. It had plenty of extra room if i needed it and fit everything that i needed. I also used this backpack my last year of university and it fit all of my books very comfortably. So if you are just using it for school or 1-2 day backpacking trips 22 Litres would be the perfect size.

Try the Moon Saddle MoonSaddle C-ModelIt looks odd, and on an outdoor bicycle it takes a little getting used to, but once you try it, you'll never go back. It should fit on this Assault. I have a large box with about 10 different sizes and shapes of saddles that all failed to deliver in terms of riding comfort. I never had one that wasn't painful after 30 minutes. The first day I tried the Moon Saddle, I went for a 2 hour bike ride with no discomfort whatsoever!

It is great for hikin but you will need to buy a map subscription. I don't do a lot of biking so... I do wish I had bought a better model for onboard storage though unless you are doing very long distances like over 60 miles it is just fine.

It is also very comfortable. You will have no problem installing it on your Trek.
