Without IRL experience, from the specs and looks, the Mosko Nomax and the Mosko Hood are both at the top of my wish list. I can't decide which one I prefer, maybe because I am looking for different features for different trips.
What I like about the hood is that it has one decent size compartment, has rigid sides and a lid which all makes it is easy to both rumage through and to toss things into - even in flight. One large space accommodates for a greater selection of items - i.e. tossing in a small grocery bag when the rest of your luggage is back at camp. One large compartment comes at the expense of organization through many smaller - but plastic bags, pouches and Tupperware takes care of this (in some ways better than pockets do).
What I like about the Nomax is that it also serves as s backpack. Also, although not a rigid style, many pockets keeps the bag firm and doesn't floop too much around when not full. More importantly, whenever I am to leave the bike unattended for more a minute, I like to take along my "all day carry items" and valuables (electronics, keys, paperwork, money, sunglasses, etc). An easy portable back pack style tank bag is perfect for this. I also like to have a backpack that can hold a few shopping items when I run errands. Although a bit on the small side, the Nomax seems adequate enough.
How good is the hood for carrying around?
