‘Ransel’ backpack

This is our first 2-shoulder model. Designed for urban ride, messenger work, or for those who prefer the 2-shoulder bags.

The Ransel has an inner floating truck tarpaulin layer, and an outer CORDURA® layer. Water cannot get it, if you close it properly. There are 2 compression straps on both side of the bag, they help you to close the bag and to compress it when it’s not full. Available in 2 sizes – the large one can fit A4 size paper boxes so that has a volume for sure!

The XL bag has the bottom compression straps by default, and 2 side outer pockets. The large one has the bottom compression straps as an extra option.

The shoulder pad is angled to be comfortable, and has a 1,5cm (0.6″) padding inside. You can attach phone / walkie-talkie holders, small pouches on the shoulder pad.

There is a removable cross-chest strap on the shoulder pad also. The cross-hip strap is 5cm (2″) wide and also removable.

1cm (0.4″) padding makes the back of the bag even more comfortable. Lamp holder and a reflective stripe helps you to be visible.

Rain cover part to prevent rain/water/mud leaking in the bag.

Pockets

Two inner mesh slip pockets, and two outer slip pockets, plus an outer large, zippered pocket to organize all the stuff you’re carrying.
The XL bag has two outer side pockets also.

Extra options

Inner padded back pocket: practical when carrying heavy, or sharp items. The padding is between your back and the load you’re carrying. It is a pocket, closes with a zipper, with a 1cm (0.4″) padding inside. You can remove the padding, you can sit on it when it is needed, and you can use this pocket as a slip pocket for up to A4 sized papers.

Compression straps: these two straps, based on the bottom of your bag, can be used to compress your bag when it’s not full. Also, you can attach something to your bag with these straps also – for example, a wet raincoat after a thunderstorm. This is a default on the XL bag.

Secret pocket: a 10*10 cm (3.9″x3.9″) pocket, hidden in your bag.

Laptop sleeve: we’re making the sleeves after your laptop’s dimensions. This sleeve attaches to the bag’s inner layer with velcro, and is completely removable.

Key clip: a small, plastic carabiner inside your bag where you can store your keys safely.

Extra reflective stripes: two more reflective stripes, on the bag closing straps – offering even better visibility during those long winter nights.

Inner zipper pocket: this is a small additional pocket inside your bag – very good and safe place for your wallet, and papers.

U-lock holder: an adjustable U-lock holder on the side of your bag – you can just slip your U-lock into this. Only needed to set up the size once after your U-lock, and then will just work. It can hold U-locks from the standard sizes to the Kryptonite Minis.

Extra buckles on the pocket sides: a female clip on each side of the outer pocket. You can clip the flap closing straps here when they’re not used.

Airflow back padding: if you order this extra option, we’ll make the workhorse’s outer back padding from a special material that is 15mm (0.6″) thick. This will allow some air to flow between your back and the bag, and also will dry fast.

Pocket behind the back padding: a zippered pocket behind the bag’s outer padding. Enough space for A4 size documents.
