Timbuk2 Raider
Carryology score
avg. reader score
Designed in collaboration with San Francisco's Mission Cycling Club, the Raider Pack frees you to get in a pre-work ride without weighing you down. A lightweight rip-stop fabric encloses the pack, which is large enough to fit: a dedicated shoe section, toiletries pack and separate shirt section with backing board to stop your clothes creasing on the way to work. Two front stretch pockets allow for small item access as well as a top zipper pocket with key fob. The back plate is designed for maximum airflow to the back while being worn, resulting in minimal sweating while beating the traffic to work. Essential for the commuting cyclist.
