Rapha Fixed Rucksack arrives



Rapha Fixed Rucksack £85

The latest offering from burgeoning cycle clothing brand Rapha joins shorts and T-shirts under the 'Fixed' grouping, and shares something of their urban vibe. Featuring a pared-down exterior with little excess by way of straps and buckles, the Fixed Rucksack has a multitude of internal pockets designed to stow everything from mobile phone to that all-important 15mm spanner and, quite possibly, half-a-dozen spare fixed sprockets. The interior has pink piping alongside the pockets, while the Rapha logo is imprinted in every practicable location. The exterior of the back, which rests against the rider, has raised, padded blocks for both comfort and air cirulation, and the straps are wide over the shoulders for pressure relief. Watch out for a review on RCUK soon.

    What's the intended use for this rucksack ? Is it aimed at the London commuter ? Looks much bigger than the one I use for my daily commute .
