Head to Head | Bike Oriented Backpacks

The Chrome Ivan goes up against Mission Workshop’s Vandal

Here’s a new category for Carryology, where we’ll help you chose between two of the best options in a particular segment of the carry market.

We’re kicking it off with ‘bike oriented backpacks’ for those looking for a great backpack to ride with that is versatile enough to move between work and play…

For our first Head to Head, we are revisiting two of your favourite posts, to help you chose a backpack for hauling your life around on a daily basis. We’re putting the Chrome Ivan (also called the Pawn and Sultan in different sizes) up against the Mission Workshop Vandal (smaller size is called the Rambler).
