Shimano’s cycling specific backpack is designed for commuters who will be riding through inclement weather. The 23-liter pack has plenty of storage space and the roll top makes it possible to buckle it down depending on how stuffed you have the bag. The expandable roll top makes the bag easily adjustable and the functional elastic closure makes it easy to buckle and unbuckle the bag. The pack has many features that make it a versatile piece and the internal pockets that keep everything neat and organized so they don’t move around during your trip.
The back of the bag is firmly padded and on the side there is a zipper that opens up to the 15-inch padded laptop compartment. For quick access there is a zipper on the other side making getting your possessions at the bottom of your bag easy. Three velcro straps on the back let you carry wheels, helmets, shoes or any other large accessories on the exterior of the back.
When the rain is falling heavily the bag is equipped with a high visibility rain cover which unfolds out of a zipper at the bottom and covers the whole bag. The body of the bag is made out of a water resistant nylon and the bottom of the bag is made from a durable waterproof material.
The backpack comes in black, beige, and olive green and is available for $220.
