HAVEN'T RATED
Cycling commuters have it hard. From rain and road scum, to sweat and strain; pushing those pedals is no easy task. This first backpack from SLICKS aims to hide your morning toils and let you look dapper and composed when you step out of your cubicle and in front of your boss. The backpack was co-developed with Swiss design house Flink, who you might know from the pivoting Ergon packs or our earlier Specialist Carry Novaris Vet pack. It’s not a cheap backpack, but it does come loaded with features like a integrated but removable suit carrier, high spec rain cover, laptop section, and multi compartment layout for getting those work duds to and from the office in tidy order.
the good
- Loaded with features
- Comes with intergrated removable suit carrier
- Horizontal and vertical access
- High level of finishing
the not so good
- Laptop compartment sits flush against the back – not great when hunched over bike handles
- Lots of features = weight
