Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- With a padded back and ergonomic shoulder straps, this backpack offers excellent carrying comfort on long stretches on foot.
- The QUICK-LOCK2.1 attachment system ensures quick mounting on most luggage racks.
- The waterproof roll-top closure with IP64 certification keeps your belongings safe during unexpected rain showers.
- Reflective elements increase visibility in the dark, contributing to your safety on the road.
- With a 22 litre volume, the rucksack is compact and uncluttered but offers less space than larger bike bags. Thus, it is perfect for everyday use but less suitable for long trips.
