Wait, not so obvious to me...
I've been riding to and from school with many books using both my messenger bags and a backpack. Yes, something about it seems slightly better (I can't put my finger on it), but then when I've been carrying two textbooks and a lunch on that shoulder for four days straight, I have to use the backpack on the fifth day without fail. When I don't have to bring anything but water, my wallet/keys/phone and some pleasure reading, I just go with my camelbak which is the most comfortable of all. So, what am I missing... is it just the part about not feeling like a turtle?
