I won my Chrome Barrage Bag in the big alley cat of 2013, Ride Fast Take Chances. It was great for commuting, and I road with it for many miles, rain or shine. We've crashed together, been to Vegas twice, and seen me through my infancy at the velodrome.
expandable cargo straps ftw!
super ergonomic back padding, an adjustable chest strap, two waterproof side access zippers, stiff top handle, and much more
this is what caught my eye
Well a few weeks ago the Shimano rep was at my work and when he was talking to a mechanic I noticed his awesome backpack. It had expandable cargo straps and a snazzy hook closure system for the roll top so I asked him about it. He showed me the side access zippers, a lot of reflective elements. He put it in my hands, it was heavy, he had it packed up with about 30 pounds of gear. I put it in on and I liked the padding a lot, I could see why he was was walking around with it on, it was like a nice helmet, you don't even notice that you are wearing it. I gave it back and he showed me the hi viz rain cover in the pocket at the bottom and I had him add one on the order for me haha.
so you always have it with you
I wish I had this so many times in the past! What a great idea!
vertical zipper gives access to main compartment without having to undo the roll top
storage options inside large main compartment to stay organized
extra stationary pocket with more organization options
u lock loops
vertical zipper opposite gives direct access to the padded laptop compartment
At $160 msrp this bag has extremely nice ergonomic features that outperforms similar sized and priced bags. I ordered one in black; I got it today, and I am not looking back. Shop local and make your local shop order you one! I have the green one in stock at Hollands of you need one now.
