Which shop is selling the Oakley Mountain Bike haversack (toolbox 2.0) and what's the price ?
I got it at Takashimaya.. Oakley shop lah heheh you never see bicycle shops selling this stuff heh.. No more already. They have replaced it with a new one (tools 3.0) which I did not like as much due to the shape, the helmet strapping system, mini pockets on the should strap for mobile phone, and side pockets. The one I got was the last of it's kind beginning of last year. You can't even see it on the Oakley site anymore, they have hidden it deep in some unknown link. But I got it so, mine looks like this.
The new one is great but just that for me, the last generation was better in some ways. Got it for $189.00. ( they should all cost the same too if you look at the US$ prices at their US site) They change their styling about every 1-2 yrs so if you are slow to nab it it is gone since they don't bring in big quantity to keep it exclusive. This newer one is also the same price. The pockets just not right for me in the end and I can tell you it was a hard choice to make. I made 5 trips to shop to keep thinking about it and envision how I would use it for daily use and riding.
There's even a Tool 4.0. Must be a new release but as it only just appear on the website, I doubt it is in the shop yet. But it look abit weird.
Note: Unlike my two other Lowepro bags which are specifically for cameras and lens while you bike, this one I bought for very difference reason but because it is strap on tightly to you on your back, the security is on that so long as you don't fall, your gear is safe heheh... And I have no intention of falling down on the trail anytime soon!
With my LowePro Off Trail2, I have ever dropped it twice with my Nikon F4s in it once and my F5, it not only drop but it tumble hard and rolls a lot along with 2 lens on the side pouches. All were fine. The problem and why they falloff from my waist it due to one very weak design on it but then again I doubt it was design specially for biking. The weak spot is the damn big clip that you snap lock around your waist. You have to pinch the top and bottom on the clip to unclasp the waist clip to take the bag off you. Well, as you cycle hunch over, your tummy and cycle pant or crotch can be hard enough that you actually put enough pressure on it that it unclasp the bad as you are riding!!!!. I got around that later by after clipping, I wrapped 2 thick rubber bans around the entire locking device so that it stays lock and that solves it. Something to think about if you are using something similar to ride with later on.
