USWE packs

[MarcusBrody]

Has anyone used an USWE pack for mountain biking or trail running?

I'm currently using a 14L Camelback with one of the lumbar reservoirs for mountain biking. I like it in general, but it's been chewed through a couple of times and seen better days. I'm looking at USWE packs as supposedly bounce less than alternatives. I'll mostly use it for biking, but I want to use it for longer trail runs/speed hikes where I might want some water/a layer/etc.. I'm particularly curious what size I could go to before it was too bouncy for running.

Anyone have experience with the brand?

As a follow up to my own thread: I conveniently ran into someone with a USWE pack at the trail head today and she let me try it on. I believe it was the 9L. It felt great. WAY less bounce than my Camelback. If I don't get lucky on something at Sierra Trading Post when I pass by in a few days, I'm going to order one.

They keep advertising a pre Black Friday sale on Instagram. Prices looked pretty solid.

I had a roommate that ran an earlier version of the airborne for bikes and dirt bikes. He loved it and that dude was hard on gear so durability seems good
