A lightweight cycling backpack that goes anywhere

This bag was designed for cycling, but it works just as well for hiking, climbing, travel, camping, fitness and days out with the family.

The 16 litre main space takes a waterproof jacket, a packed lunch, a drink and a few spare layers. Extra pockets keep smaller items such as keys, a phone and a wallet easy to find.

Stay dry and comfortable

The nylon fabric is waterproof and dustproof on the outside, which helps keep your belongings dry in a shower and clean on dusty paths.

The breathable design helps stop that hot, sticky feeling on your back, even on longer rides or walks.

An adjustable waist strap holds the bag close to your body when you are cycling, so it does not swing around as you pedal or turn.

Be seen at night with this cycling backpack

Reflective markers on the bag catch car headlights after dark, helping other road users spot you sooner on dark evenings and winter mornings.

How to pack a cycling backpack

A well-packed bag feels lighter and keeps you more stable on the bike. Try these simple tips:

• Put heavier items at the bottom and close to your back.
• Keep things you need often, such as keys and phone, in the small pockets.
• Pack a light waterproof jacket at the top for quick access.
• Tighten the shoulder straps and waist strap so the bag sits snugly.
• Do not overfill it, so the bag keeps its shape and the zips close easily.

Caring for your backpack

After a wet or muddy day, empty the bag, wipe it down with a damp cloth and leave it open to dry naturally. Keeping it clean helps the reflective markers stay bright and easy to see.
