Top 5: Small Rucksacks on MCN Shop

1 of 5

As riders we want different things from our rucksack – not the sort of thing a camping shop will sell.

A good one will sit the weight lower on your back, have straps for waist and chest to stop the windblast pulling the shoulder straps apart and will also be tougher to cope with wind speed.

A waterproof hood stashed somewhere inside is also handy.

Here are our favourite five small rucksacks from the wide selection at www.mcnshop.com

 


 

Oxford backpack anniversary edition, £19.99

Small lightweight rucksack for carrying your essentials, with padded straps for shoulders and compression straps to keep your luggage compact. There are pockets on the front and sides for easy and quick access to small items.
