Review: Looks good, easy to use & helmet holder’s handy - as long as you’re not too tall… cycling AlturaCycling
The Altura Chinook features some good ideas, but the size and shape will limit its appeal for taller riders.
As with most rucksacks, in persistent rain you'll want to store any vulnerable kit in some kind of waterproof liner, or put a cover on it. Behind this is the water bladder compartment, which is the same size as the back of the rucksack itself and has a huge zip that extends almost to the bottom on one side. Getting a wobbly bladder of water in is, therefore, simplicity itself, and there's a Velcro loop at the top to keep it in shape. The hose exits through a hole at the top with its own little rain cover, and can be guided through one of the elastic loops on either shoulder strap.
Oddly, though, the strap for the lid closure hook is tethered inside this pouch, and the length adjustment also has to be done from the inside. It looks tidier but isn't the most practical idea. At least the loop for a light with a belt clip mount is both practical and tidy.
