New York Times tests the Ergon BD1

Quote of the New York Times:
"...Ergon says that a ball joint connected to the pack's exoskeleton allows the unit to move independently. Mr. Hardler said it worked "as advertised," " moves with your body well" and "allows for a breeze" on your back. The padded waist belt was "really comfortable" and kept the pack "stable". The single drawback? "Little in the way of organized pockets." It was the only pack in the test available in two sizes, for the best fit.
We thank Mr. Hardl for the flowers and advise him to also test the BD2 backpack. There are a lot of pockets...

MountainBIKE Magazin - SUPER

Flexible Link System proves itself in the test by MountainBIKE Magazin:

Ergon‘s back pack ...provided for an unfamiliar degree of comfort and most of all the feeling of a secure hold: it always loaded evenly, even when loaded heavily, and put very little pressure on the shoulders, and it did not slide forward even in the steepest grades, nor did it “hop” on your back when jumping. It fits. And so well, that you immediately miss it when you switch back to a normal backpack... Super.
