What is the Siskin 12?
The Siskin 12 is the perfect pack for a day out on the trails. Whether you're heading out for a quick cross country loop or smashing an all-day enduro, the Siskin combines all the space and features you'll ever need.
What is it made from?
To say biking packs get a little abuse would be doing them an injustice. Osprey know this and have equipped the Siskin with an ultra tough 210D Polyester, ensuring years of reliable use without weighing you down. This fabric also features a DWR (durable water repellent) coating to ensure mud, light rain and general detritus is repelled.
What are the features?
Included with the pack is a 2.5 litre water bladder, ensuring you have enough fluids for a full days riding; this bladder can be removed to free up more space if you'd rather use a bottle cage. In terms of pocket space, you get a front shove-it pocket for jackets, spare gloves and other clothing, an internal organiser pocket for tools and spares, two small hipbelt pockets for snacks and a zipped scratch-free sunglasses and electronics pocket. Access to the main organiser pocket is achieved by a large U-shaped zip on the front, while the bladder features its own zip on the top.
Other useful features include glove friendly buckles (nothing worse than cold, wet hands and buckles which won't undo), interior baffles to keep the contents secure when open, an internal key attachment clip, an LED attachment point, Osprey's LidLock bike helmet attachment, reflective graphics, side compression straps, a sternum strap which fastens to the opposing shoulder strap with a magnet (clever) and a webbing grab handle.
Summary
The Siskin is perfect for just about every type of mountain biking, from your quick cross country loops to your full days out on the enduro bikes. It features just about every pocket, fabric and attachment that you could possibly ever need for life out on the trails.
