Vaude Splash Air 20 plus 5 Litre Bike Pack
Providing flexible 20 + 5 litres of carrying capacity, our Splash Air is the ideal day touring pack. Although this legendary classic pack has won various awards, we continue to further optimise it. Ultra carrying comfort is guaranteed with a fully adjustable shoulder strap adjustment system - our F.L.A.S.H. system - and the performance suspension system. With lots of clever pockets and reflective elements. Rain cover included.
Our Verdict
This pack incorporates Vaude's Aeroflex back system which uses a lightweight steel frame to lift the pack off the backof the wearer supported by a padding and mesh panel. The strap length can be adjusted giving more flexibility with fit.
The basic compartment has a zipped bellow round the bottom so that its capacity can be varied. Other than that the Splash Air has a host of features that you will find in good quality bike packs.
We especially like the stretch-mesh zippered pocket in the right hand hip belt wing, just big enoungh to carry a power bar, money or keys.
