The Duthie AM somehow even feels like it has more capacity than its claimed 15L when compared to other packs. As a bonus, a rain cover stows neatly away in the bottom should you ever need it. The stretchy material on the sides and back is perfect for stashing apparel and other random items for quick access without having to unzip any pockets or worry about deconstructing the Jenga of widgets that might exist in your large main pocket. The pockets are laid out in a useful manner, and the hydration system is the cream of the crop with a wide fill mouth, a magnet for keeping the hose securely in place, and an easy to use bite valve. One of the main features that stood out was the rigid frame and mesh back material design, which provides a good amount of ventilation and comfort. The Duthie AM checks all the boxes for a modern riding pack, and there wasn't a single thing I missed while using the pack.
The Duthie AM (or Siouxon AM for the ladies) is Platypus's all-mountain pack meant for all-day epics when you need to carry more than just water and a single gel.
Colors: Carbon, Titanium Gray, Red Alloy.Read on for details and thoughts on some hydration pack options for those who prefer to use a proper pack instead of worrying about offending the fashion police with a "hip" pack. They didn't find any usage limitations or fit issues with these brawny "manly man" packs, so don't let the male label scare away you ladies looking for a pack. Note that while most of these packs are marketed towards men, female shredders Taylor and Nikki helped out with testing (and modeling for the photos). These packs all carry an "average" load, ranging from ten to twenty liters of cargo capacity (except for the CamelBak vest), and all have the ability to carry more than a liter of water in a hydration reservoir. While Nikki has been testing the hip pack side of things, I have been testing seven backpacks designed specifically for mountain biking. But that all comes at the expense of freedom, breathability, and maneuverability. The main difference being the ability of a backpack to carry much more gear and water, allowing greater distances to be covered. There are many advantages and disadvantages to each. One of the age-old questions is the hip pack vs. Some people prefer their white Sprinter vans in the color of white, and. Some people prefer 29inch wheels, while others prefer 27.5inch (or now possibly a mullet or reverse mullet setup). Some people prefer carbon while others prefer aluminum. The mountain bike community is usually at odds on almost any topic.
