Description:Medium: Versatile, sturdy courier bag





Submitted by Andy Gates a Weekend Warrior from Exeter, UK
Date Reviewed: December 17, 2004
Favoriate Trail:Urban
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $98.00
Purchased At:Wiggle.co.uk
Strengths:Stoopid waterproof, indestructible. Good big capacity. Handy divider inside. Good price.
Weaknesses:Straps tend to bunch up when the bag is heavily loaded. Gets uncomfy after about twenty continuous miles. Sweaty back. The roll top isn't the fastest thing to get into.
Similar Products Used:Rucksacks, musettes.
Bike Setup:Cannondale Bad Boy with commuter tweaks; Mercian track fixie.
Bottom Line:If you need really stupidly waterproof, this is great - I've immersed it and it's soakproof. But it's not as comfy as, say, a Timbuk2 bag, and it fits badly to narrow backs. If you've got a wide back, it fits fine.

Overall its bombproof but ugly. If function scores over aesthetics, or your aesthetic is heriocally ugly and industrial, give it a shot.
