@cptbutton @ascentale @bikenite They're common in adventure sports, the keyword seems to be 'vented'
I wear a generic backpack while riding, which means in warm weather my back is soaking wet at the end because there is no air circulation under the backpack.
I have a vague idea that there are backpacks with some kind of mesh standoff that lets air through and avoids this problem.
Do such backpacks actually exist?
If so, what are they called?
Any recommendations in the US market?
Happy Wednesday #BikeNite if you have any questions for this week, see below!

A4. Not quite the best, but best one I have a picture of in a parking garage, and the worst just out on the sidewalk and moveable.
#BikeNite A3: Ever since opened the rear hub to tighten a wobble, and discovered the ball bearings were not in cages, and retrieved most of them that hadn't rolled too far away, then needing five hands to hold the wheel, hub, skewer, bearing race, and the wee little tiny slippery ball bearings, and getting laughed at by the tech at the LBS (very politely so as not to hurt my feelings), and needing to buy a new wheel anyway, I won't touch anything with bearings.
I have this idea that the people who participate in locksport aren't the people who steal bicycles.
The people who steal cycles by picking locks aren't engaged in locksport, they're engaged in theft.
I suppose there might be some crossover, but that would be similar to those locksmiths engaged in burglary...
