I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love the Osprey Salida 8L Backpack

When it comes to mountain biking, there are certain essentials we never hit the trails without. The Osprey Salida 8L Backpack is our top choice for a mountain biking-specific backpack, thanks to its compact design, smart organization features, and exceptional comfort.

This backpack offers a zippered compartment with internal organizational pockets, ensuring that all of our essentials have their designated place. Additionally, the Salida allows us to securely attach our helmet to the back of the pack when we're not riding.

Equipped with a separate zippered compartment, the Salida includes a 2.5-liter hydration bladder with a magnetic bite valve attachment. This ensures that we stay hydrated throughout our ride without any hassle.

Thanks to its small size, Airscape suspension, backpanel with foam and mesh construction, as well as a comfortable harness and hip belt, the Salida provides an incredibly comfortable carrying experience. It evenly distributes the weight across the backpanel and allows for excellent airflow between the pack and our back, adding to the overall comfort.
