I seem to belong to a minority who thinks backpacks are more comfortable than hip packs (or stuffed jersey pockets). Got myself a Rapid Pack last year but I prefer the feel of a light backpack. Riding without any kind of pack is nice in the summer, but the backpack is such a minor inconvenience that I wouldn't compromise on anything else just to get rid of it.
