Really nice bag, lots of space very happy.I was a bit worried that it was too expensive. But it’s a fantastic commuting bike bag. I can get what I need in, an adjustable size. It keeps things dry and has a good slot for my Macbook.

I bought this initially for a London to Paris cycle challenge. While during the challenge this bag was transported each day by the challenge company (so wasn’t on my back all day) , I used it to pack 4 days worth of gear and food and rode a few miles with it to the start and then after arriving home. It’s really comfortable, also as I’m petite it just fits the length of my back and isn’t overwhelming. Good balance with the rectangular shape and well designed shoulder straps. I love it and use it regularly for supermarket trips when not cycling!

Great back pack, definitely keeps the rain out and you can fit a lot in there. I use this for when cycling to work. The closing is adjustable depending on how full the pack is, which is a good feature. The straps are pretty comfy, and can go around your waist and chest to alleviate strain on the shoulders – though I think the straps could maybe be wider or more padded so might not be ideal if you are planning to wear for a long time. The bag is very deep and roomy, which can make it difficult to find things in the bag. I would prefer if there were more pockets inside so items could be organised and better accessed. But overall, it is a good commuter back pack and you will definitely be seen by traffic as its very bright. I would recommend

I wanted a roomy, durable and waterproof rucksack to use for work and leisure without a thousand irritating pockets and trinkets. This ticks all those boxes and some!It was much less expensive than big brand alternatives and the main obvious competitor. I would argue looks even more sleek and understated. The reflective flecks look good without making it an obvious piece of kit and the aluminium closure and straps look good quality.I was undecided between 30 litres or I think it is a 26 litre… For me the extra room is useful (I use it for multi-day trips) without making the bag bulky, as it can roll down to be a much smaller bag. It’s the only bag I really need!
