Know before you buy

The bag features a dedicated internal sleeve designed to accommodate laptops up to 15 inches. It provides a secure, padded space to keep your tech protected while you are on the move.
The roll-top design allows you to adjust the height of the main compartment between 480mm and 550mm. This gives you the flexibility to increase the total capacity up to 26 liters when you need to carry extra gear.
The Pickwick is designed with a lightweight, frameless construction and adjustable cotton straps, making it easy to carry for extended periods. Its ergonomic build is specifically tailored to sit comfortably while you are in a riding position.
