The shoulder strap is of rare comfort: very large, generously padded and perfectly shaped. But if the bag is easy to place on our shoulder, shaped in order to unload and effectively distribute and doesn’t unbalance whilst we dare another slalom in the chaotic urban traffic, then we found the right bag. However the kilos are still kilos when we have to carry them and their source is of little interest as we pedal. A bag, you can see immediately, destined to last a lifetime. It is not superfluous weight, as it is determined by the very strong materials with which it is assembled.
The empty bag has its own, not really content (but there is a lightened version in the catalog) which, however, I do not count among the defects but among the merits. Also because we can fill it as much as we like, but then we have to load all this staff on our shoulders: and it’s heavy… Yes, we have seen it, we are far beyond the normal city needs. Ok, I used a folded helmet, the Morpher you read the review about but I put a lot of things 😀 For photographic needs, I had to leave the objects partially in sight, sacrificing some useful space and I used a very low resolution, otherwise I had a too heavy file and I could not load it in the server.
In this animated sequence we can get an idea of how much stuff we can put into the bag. To help us to have everything in order and immediately available, there are four additional pockets, one of which is zipped the others are open and suitable for pens, a telephone or anything else.

To give you an idea of the size, keep in mind that the big black tube is the tool to mount the track of the headset series on the fork. I took the photo here below just to show the layout of all the pockets, without inserting the objects thoroughly. The front one easily accommodates a U-shaped padlock, the side pockets can accommodate from the flask to the pump or any other object long as the bag’s height you can think about. It’s perfect for large and thin objects, such as documents, folders, notepads.īetween the upper flap, the Velcro closure and the absolutely waterproof inner lining, there is no danger that our precious sheets get wet.Ī little further other three pockets, all open, which follow the front profile of the bag. You do not immediately notice it, because its Velcro closure keeps it very adherent. The main pocket has two Velcro slots you can fix a snap link, you can pass an U-shaped padlock a little bigger or whatever you think it can go there.Īnother large pocket is immediately in front of the main one. Later we will see the bag will be filled, please, be a little patient as I finish the theoretical part. To make you understand how much space we have I put a shoebox: Chrome of course 😀 In the image below I put my 15” you bet you can add a lot more…. The big central pocket, able to accomodate a 17”notebook and there is still a lot of space, lords it over everything else. It’s not a bag’s fault, of course, just a practical advice.īecause this bag is beautiful but above all it’s a practical one: 9 pockets of different size and shape, everything find its right place. The bag should be worn tight and it will hurt you in the long run. The only suggestion to follow when you want to take advantage of every space is to avoid placing angular objects with their corners at the side of your back. So I filled it up to bursting point, I left it half full, I used it almost empty: and on every occasion, stability an comfort were perfect. So much space it could have been potentially a limit, because we know that riding with half-empty shoulder bags means to make them unstable, with the load that sways inside, dragging the bag everywhere. And in the city we don’t need so much stuff as if we were riding on the roads of the world. It’s a citizen one, its own name says it. Plenty of space in this Chrome Citizen messenger, but it’s not a travel bag. More than this, we talk about tourism bags. Consider that you can find a luggage bag for urban use in a range between 9 and 15 liters.
Twenty-six liters of capacity are really a lot.
You lose half day just to fill it, because you can put in it so much stuff that, then, you ask yourself what can you do to create difficulties for it. If it doesn’t break, or slips from your back and it soaks with a light rain, that’s it: in less than a week you have the article ready. What do we have to test in a bag? It’s not a bike or wheels or tires, so in theory it should be simple: you fill it and go around for few days.
