Deep Dive
The Commuter Urban Daypack strikes the perfect balance between casual daypacks and professional office bags. Unlike standard daypacks, this bag offers a more tidy and sophisticated look, while still being incredibly durable.
Constructed with a waterproof Cordura exterior and rubberized materials, this daypack is built to withstand the wear and tear of daily commutes. Whether you're biking through traffic or navigating crowded sidewalks, this bag will hold up against the elements.
For added comfort and security, the Commuter Urban Daypack features padded, adjustable shoulder straps, as well as a removable waist and chest strap. These straps allow you to cinch the bag down tightly while cycling, ensuring a secure fit.
The back panel of the bag is equipped with TPU pads, providing cushioning and support for your load. This feature prevents discomfort or strain on your back, even when carrying heavy items.
While maintaining a minimalist design on the outside, the Commuter Urban Daypack offers convenient storage options. It includes a single side pocket for easy access to your phone, as well as several loops that can securely hold your U-lock.
