Osprey Savu 5 mountain biking pack

Was using a backpack for a while. But lately i've seen an assortment of packs on the trails and one of them stood out to me as the osprey. Went online and got one and it's great for day rides as what most riders tend to do. The Osprey Savu 5 can be had online for about 55$, its rather expensive compared to the chinese bags. But i figure i might as well try it out.

I am not sure what’s going on - but the side pouches have opened up on me during rides. Almost lost my keys on trail. It seems like if I ride with it relatively tight on my waist the movement of the trail opens the pockets. I’m at a loss as to why this would happen.

I'm curious. Have you tried long riding? for example 4 hours or even 1 day? do you feel pain in the back, when the bottle closes to your body? and is it possible to hold 1l bottle (32 oz)?

Hey there I haven’t done 1 day rides. But I’ve done many 6 hour rides and didn’t feel any back pain. I want to do a follow up in this bag. It’s incredible because I’ve always used backpacks for rides now this thing is next level
