There is also an adjustable chest strap to prevent the shoulder straps spreading and when it’s properly adjusted, which doesn’t take long, it is stable and comfortable. However, the narrow waist belt doesn’t really take any of the weight like a wider belt might. It’s comfortable, particularly with the load over the shoulders spread on wide, well-padded shoulder straps. The back of the rucksack also has massive, padded blocks with large air channels so that your back breathes when you are wearing it, helping to minimise perspiration on warmer rides. Similarly, the waist strap has the same tightening and loosening mechanism but can be removed if you don’t want to wear it. They also have huge, bright-red loops to help you find them and pull or release in gloves – really useful. Some rucksacks have multiple straps and clasps but this one is simple the shoulder-strap clasps move on the strap, so they are always at the end of the strap, eliminating lots of spare material flapping in the wind. Putting it on, instantly you are aware of an easy adjustment system. It’s also bright dayglo yellow to highlight your presence in bad visibility.

While the polyester outer may be showerproof, full protection for your contents comes from a removable rain cover that sits in a pouch in the secondary compartment, though it also fits in one of the outer pockets with a bit of a squeeze – easier to get to here if it suddenly starts to hammer down. At the base, there is a zipped compartment that houses a helmet carrier for use when off the bike, which is fixed within the compartment at the bottom and clips to the top of the bag to hold the lid in place. The secondary compartment also has a tablet sleeve as well as various other pouches and a large expanding front section.Įxternally, there are two small side pockets for sunglasses or other bits and bobs. It also leaves plenty of room for paperwork or clothing to pop on when you arrive at work.

The double zip for the main compartment goes over the top and down to the base of the rucksack, allowing you to easily load it up in the padded laptop sleeve, the secondary sleeve or the cable pouch. It’s formed in polyester inside and out and has waterproof-style zips on the main compartment, the secondary compartment and the two small outer pockets.
