Yes, the Road Sack is in stock and ready for shipping locally and internationally.
I already use a backpack, why buy a Road Sack?
Consider the additional safety functions.
*High visibility, high contrast design.
*HDPE back insert.
*Heavy duty construction.
*And Independent Shoulder Straps system.
The Road Sack is designed specifically for riders and commuters to keep you safe from accidents.
Is it only for motorcyclists?
The backpack would be just as useful if you ride a bicycle, skate board, rollerblade, on road and off road.
How heavy is it?
It is 1.4 kg Net.
The weight comes from the quality material and parts used, making it durable and able to take the abuse of daily commuting.
Why yellow (and not orange?)
We found the Fluorescent Yellow to be most commonly associated with high visibility and safety, often found on safety vests. It is chosen because the colour stands out in traffic more than any other colour.

Features
How much can it carry?
The size of the backpack is based on what can be comfortably carried on a rider's back.
It can easily accommodate simultaneously a laptop computer (up to 15 inch), a pair of running shoes, a change of t-shirt+shorts, a lunch box as well as everyday items like wallet, phone and keys.
How water proof is it?
The design includes nylon lining for both compartments to prevent water soaking through. Zipper has a water/dust proof hood and the back is separated by a HDPE insert. So even if the exterior is soaked, the contents will stay dry.
It's as water proof as can be, reaching a balance between comfort, safety and weather protection.
What accessories are available?
We are developing ways to mount a bicycle light and water bladder.
Does it come with a water bladder?
The Road Sack does not come with a water bladder, however our team have developed a way to install an aftermarket bladder.
Can I mount a bicycle light?
Yes, We developed a mod that can be easily performed to allow a clip-on bicycle light.
Already own one
The backpack is really stiff.
The HDPE back insert will take a couple of weeks to mould to your riding position.
With use, it will become more flexible and more comfortable.
How to care for the backpack.
The fluorescent panels does not need any special chemicals. Any spot dirt should be wiped away with a damp cloth. Washing of backpack can be done with instructions included in the user's manual.
The waist strap is too short for me.
