Bag which doesn’t interfere with my helmet – recommendation needed

    HI All,
    Despite the title I’m seeking some recommendations to help my cycling. I have two rucksacks, both supposedly “cycling friendly” (Deuter Cross Air and NorthFace Hammerhead) but both interefere with my cycling helmet when they have straps done up and are in a comfortable position. I find myself having to slacken off the straps so that the top of the bag doesnt push the helmet forward.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a small rucksack for commuting which sits low enough on the back not to contact the helmet?

    I’ve got an Osprey Momentum that I’ve had no problems with, but I think this is going to be a very personal thing- you might spend a lot more time a lot lower than me. You could look at Wingnut if you want something that sits really low- I’ve no personal experience of their stuff though.
    Maybe a seatpost-mounted rack if you’re not going to be carrying too much stuff?

    Easier said than done with a frame without rack eyelets. Rucksack makes it sound bigger than it needs to be – it only needs to carry clothes for the work day. đŸ˜€
