We’ve been taking Mosko’s Wildcat 12L backpack on several of our adventures over the last year or so. Besides its durability, Mosko put a lot of thought into comfort, incorporating an ultra-plush back pad and a well thought out shoulder harness with a myriad of adjustments to get a perfect fit. The pack offers plenty of functionality too, including a fleece-lined top pocket for full-sized goggles or sunglasses, an adjustable beaver tail pocket for storing spare layers and gloves, a Velcro loop for securing a tripod or folding saw, several different organizing slots and zipper pockets, a 3-liter Hydrapack water bladder, plus there’s a built-in holder in front for your GPS messenger so it’s always handy in an accident. What really sets this backpack apart though is its expandability. First off, you have a Molle panel on the back that allows you to securely attach anything from first aid kits to fuel bottles. There’s also an optional chest rig attachment that snaps on to offer expanded capacity. The chest rig has proven to be perfect for carrying items you want to have quick access to off the bike like a walkie talkie, multi tool, zip ties, duct tape, maps, pen and notepad just to name a few. The chest rig keeps the gear up high too, so it doesn’t brush against the tank or a tank bag while you are riding. For more details go to bit.ly/wildback
