Hi Tim, the back system is the same as the Gourdon 25 and 30, so yes the stiffener thingy can be removed!

Hi Guys,
I see from your detailed pictures that there is a space to slide a hydration pouch (I presume if you take the stiffener thingy out) on the larger Gourdons.  Can this be done with the new 20L one?  I don’t really need another bag, but for £15 and knowing the quality you purvey it’s hard to find a reason not to…
Cheers!

As usual your delivery is “slicker than snot” (to borrow a phrase from one of my US friends)
Ordered late Sunday evening, shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday lunchtime.  Fantastic.!
Can’t wait to try out what looks like a very well made product.

Howdy, I was wondering if you’d be able to get the Gourdon bags made up in a plain olive green or even sand coloured material and without the window and ‘hi-vis’ writing on it?

A lot of the lads have been very impressed with the Airic and other bits and bobs I’ve bought from you and one later pointed out that the Gourdon would be ideal, if only it didn’t glow in the dark!

I’m sure you could shift quite a few of these, not only to Service Personnel.

I have a Gourdon 25 in orange, sorry jaffa.
Used daily for the commute on my motorbike. Not fluorescent but pretty bright.
Keeps everything dry even in the worst of weathers. It has been thoroughly tested over the last few months, both in town and on the motorway.
Shoulder straps have a tendancy to slip, but at least the tabs at the ends of the straps stop it from falling off.
Not convinced of the need for a window, just means that traffic following me can see my lunch.
Excellent value for money.
Will certainly buy another one when I wear this one out.
Superb bit of kit.

I second that Alex.
All i have time for, it seems, are overnighters, and a neon yellow 20L to carry my hunka, food and a change of clothes would be nice.

How about one in fluoro yellow for commuting? Mines great for keeping a change of clothes and my laptop dry but it would be nice to have a mor visible one.

And a 15-20L one for bike day rides? My 25L one is just a bit too big for that kind of thing.

I got one of the originals just before christmas and love it, although I’m gutted I didn’t hold off and get one of the new version with better webbing (slippy starps are annoying already) and a hydration pocket!
Oh well, looks like I’ll have to buy another one!
