Advantages: Well built, Good load transfer, Non sweat back system Disadvantages: Heavy, looks slightly odd, Occipital cavity doesnt work, front pocket opening too small.
...isnt at the right level for this to happen with some users so its a bit pointless.
As for the changes - well the hipbelt seems to have been updated with a sort of a plasticy exoskeleton with the berghaus "EXTREM" logo at the side. As perviously mentioned there is the new waterproof pocket and there are rumors that the Dry Fusion (creats a 100% waterproof pack) technology employed on the Extrem Crag rucksack will make its way to the cyclops for 2005.
In anycase the cyclops carrys a heavy load well and is a tough as they come. If you need a serious pack you wont go far wrong with this.

The valve's tendency to premature hydration is the only thing holding this pack from 5 chillis overall.
Plenty of room for rides of a few hours. Elastic cords to hold jackets and such. Great deal for any sort of rider....

You’ll find most shops don’t stock this, but keep on looking! Bad points and the good, here we go as quick and easy as possible. Small water volume compared to my MULE – (see my other review) fits In snug ICE BACK pack. If you don’t know what this is its like insulation that keeps your water warm or cold depending on how you put it in. What’s interesting is you can take out the bottom sheet to let the water heat or cool you, very useful for Very hot days or the very cold (just make sure you remember to slot in ice cubes...

I think this perfume is light, fresh and spicy. I’d say it’s an everyday wear fragrance as it’s light. I would think it would appeal more to the older woman. This fragrance lasts a long time but you would need to re-apply though out... more
Aha, I’m back! And are many of you surprised that I’m writing another fragrance opinion? Probably not, though I would like to thank a fellow ciao member for his attempts at finding me something else whereby I could venture an opinion. However, after... more
