So much better than a backpack, plenty of storage and a blatter… life is better with the Apecat harness

The Apecat is exactly what I needed it to be. Durable, lots of room for everything, and it disappears on my back. I hardly knew it was there. It's been a solid addition to my off-road touring kit.

Finally someone actually built a proper pack that keeps the weight low on your waist instead of hanging off your shoulders. Very comfortable and being able to remove the side bags is great. Or put them back on when you need to carry a lot. Get this thing adjusted correctly and you might even forget it is there. The moto gear biz has been churning out the same bulky quasi tactical overbuilt junk for years. It's about time somebody went outside the box and built something that makes sense and improves the riding experience. It's not cheap. But it'll probably be the last one you need.

Excellent

This bag is a gamechanger. As someone who has carried stuff every which way, from on the bike, to in a backpack, to this, I can truly say that this is an innovative and incredible product.
Due to the nature of how hip belts/hip packs fit, this is a little awkward to wear with a big, bulky riding jacket; however, it's not impossible to get used to. On the other hand, it is so comfortable to wear over a jersey or other light layer. When wearing this, I often forget that it's even there, even when it is filled with the items I carry in it.
I appreciate that, unlike a backpack, this harness actually has two pockets on it that are 100% accessible while wearing it. I keep my personal items (wallet, phone, keys, snacks, etc...) in one side, and other items I might want quick access to in the other side. The main pouch in the back fits the included water bladder and so much more, including my multi-tool + other parts of that kit, some other tools, and a tube. With all of that, the weight of it still disappears when wearing this pack. Often, I forget that the shoulder straps are even there, and I can feel wind flowing underneath them when riding because there really is no weight on them whatsoever. In that regard, this does feel awkward with the chest rig, so much so, that I am opting not to use the chest rig with it.
There is a small learning curve to figuring out how to wear this comfortable and how everything should be adjusted, but once you get past that, I think you'll find that this is the most comfortable way to carry any considerable weight on your body. Bravo and kudos to mosko on this one.
