Lastly, the frame sheet is accessible through a zippered opening above the laptop sleeve, just in case it needs replacing. We think this is a nice bonus for those who like to tinker with their bags and who might want to do a bit of DIY-ing. For the most part, though, you probably won’t have to replace it anytime soon as ours has barely exhibited any permanent damage due to bending. Osprey Radial | The combo of a big false bottom and loop and hook tab keep your devices secure. Despite its size, it never felt like it was swinging around or in danger of throwing you off balance. The padded straps with a mesh lining are also comfortable. Yes, this bag is flexible. It can adapt to MANY needs and manages to make most of those adjustments while staying out of the way. But it’s still committed to its core purpose and that core purpose limits its flexibility in a very specific way. This is NOT a bag that you should use to load up 60 lbs and hike with. It is not designed for physical abuse. It shouldn’t go into a boardroom with you. For those of you who are looking for the one-bag wonder that can do anything, this isn’t it.

Aside from a brief stint as a technical editor for BikeRadar, Sam has been at Cyclist for almost ten years. Consequently he's had plenty of opportunity to test the latest bikes and kit, interview big brands and examine the latest trends. Although not waterproof itself, the Slice has a bright yellow waterproof cover that aids visibility, as do the reflective graphics.

Sam is a road cyclist at heart, but in the summer when the west Dorset bridleways and trails he calls home are dry, he'll most often be found out exploring on a gravel bike.

Through a clever stand design, the Osprey Radial 26 stays upright when you place it on the ground too, preventing it from falling over and damaging your gear.

It’s bright, straightforward and well-priced.Just watch out for unexpected showers and think about lining your bag with a bin liner if you’ve got anything in there you don’t want to get wet.
