avg. reader score
This is a really innovative pack made for urban environments and two-wheeled adventure. There are loads of original ideas in it, that get jaded old bag fiends like ourselves frothing. And dang this can grow! The pack has massive expansion abilities and can double its size. The build quality is high, looking as good in the flesh as it does in the photos. While not perfect for laptops and all the tech, it can be coerced into sufficient service. Great in the wet. Great looking. Bomber build.

the not so good
- All that expansion fabric can get in the way
