Velo Men's Transit The Edge 30 Waterproof Messenger Bicycle Backpack

Fits very well on the back. Does not make a ball and is not uncomfortable.Really waterproof. Nicely profiled to avoid being a drag with the wind and when looking back.I use it to commute with my race bike to work and it allows you to breath well compared to other backpacks. No problem at speeds of 25mph.I do about 12 miles one way a few times a week so something inadequate and uncomfortable becomes old quickly.The lining inside the biggest pocket is waterproof and can catch a bit when you put things in it but not a real problem if you open it up fully at the top. It's big enough to insert a micro PC tower. There are 4 front pockets which can also hold a good amount. Basically 2 on top of the other two. All 4 have the width of the bag. There are accessories to attach on the side of the bag but not necessary for me at this point because it can easily hold lunch, change of cloths and everything else I need to take for the day (wallet, iphone, keys...).There is an additional flap that can be unfolded to cover the front (bright yellow) to make it even more water proof (think thunderstorm rain).I won't go back to any other backpack for biking after this one. All other cheaper backpack of all sorts are now just taking space in my closet and a total waste of money. And to top it all, it's made in the USA. It's not cheap, but really worth every penny. Anything cheaper (and less adequate) is a waste of money.

I purchased this bag for my son to use in college. We live in an area that get a lot of rain and I wanted something waterproof...that it most certainly is. The only drawback is that it is awkward to easily get things in and out of the bag because of the inside liner. Items get caught up on it. All in all, very well made and a great bag.

I've had at least a dozen backpacks over the years and I'd have to say I'm impressed both with the design and versatility of this thing. The pockets are perfectly arranged to carry a variety of things. The upper pockets I carry my droid tablet and kindle usually and the bottom pockets I stash my bike tools. I've put ice in this main compartment and used it as an impromptu beer cooler...no problem! I can easily fit two changes of clothes in this (pants not shorts) plus an extra pair of shoes and shaving stuff, bike tools, spare tube, a few books... I even do grocery runs with thisIt did take some fiddling with to get the strap adjustments right, but whatever I'm carrying certainly feels better on my back than any other backpack I've used...AND i can see over my shoulder in my helmet mirror! I wouldn't say that it's less sweaty on the back than any other pack i've used, but I think that overall I am definitely please with it.

I chose this pack to hold clothing and lunch for bicycle commuting. The size is perfect for the task. The pack fits perfectly and does not move about during my ride. The bright interior is beneficial. The two smaller exterior pockets are great for holding electronics and smaller items (wallet, keys, badge). The roll down bag design keeps the interior items dry; if you have not had experience with a roll down bag, I would expect it would not take long to become accustomed to it.Velo appears to have put a lot of design work into the bag, as well as manufacturing controls. My bag is well made and appears it will last me many years. With this excellent experience, I am considering Velo's panniers in the future. Enjoy!

This bag conforms and hugs your back while still breathing (used in super humid southern Florida). I have Velo Transit panniers for my commuter that I am extremely happy with and needed something for when I'm on my road or mountain bike without racks so I can still carry things. The bright flourescent inside is great for visibility digging around in the bag. The great rolltop and zip down bright cover to keep things dry. There are plenty of pockets and a good one for your U-lock. There are even places to mount a taillights to the back. Another flawless design made in the states by Velo Transit, I love this company! I can't wait to use it in the snow when I'm back in Wisconsin.

Great backpack, fit and function is awesome. I have not had a change to test it in the rain yet. I have tested the yellow rain flap as a safety feature while riding into work. My co-worker state they can see me at great distances.Lots of room for your daily commute. I had no issues carrying clothing, and lunch for the Day, with room in other pockets/pouches for spare tools and tubes.PROMADE IN THE USA!!!!!

I Thought I received the wrong item, but after opening the bag I figured out How hi-tech this backpack was. Is light, perfect for motorbikes riders, big capacity and resistant. That's a perfect made in USA product and I am pretty sure it can last at least 15 years of daily usage.

One well thought out pack. It's as described by others. I very nice pack that's also a waterproof roll-top bag...The only minor inconvenience is the main compartment is lined with vinyl/rubbery membrane that is a bit sticky - can be tough to get those bottom items in and out in a hurry...but that's why they are on the bottom isn't it...isn't it? :)
