Tech Aero BackPack
$169.95
It’s easy to get the Tech Aero Backpack and the Tech Aero Tank Bag confused, but the backpack is not just the tank bag without the magnets or straps. It is in fact a completely different bag. Overall capacity of the backpack is slightly smaller at 26 liters, but it does share the 15-inch laptop sleeve as well as the built-in rain cover. Internal pockets organize things like keys or tools. A sternum strap panel has provisions for spare change and a clear panel for identification. The hidden helmet holder and internal sleeve for the Bionic back protector make this an ideal riding backpack.
Alpinestars
Charger BackPack $139.95
The Charger backpack is more suited towards shorter rides. Capacity is down to 17 liters, yet the 15-inch laptop sleeve remains. The low-profile of the Charger is more aerodynamic, and the water resistant, fleece-lined audio pocket make it perfect for catching some tunes when you’re on the run. Internal organizing pockets are also included with the Charger, as well as the built-in helmet carrier. Shoulder and waist straps are adjustable and padded for a comfortable fit, and the waterproof YKK zippers (which are on all the bags listed) keeps the elements out while riding.
Axio
Swift BackPack
$199.95
Believe it or not, but there is some room for expansion when the Swift is stuffed to the gills so we included it. The exterior is molded from a polycarbonate shell for a sleek, stylish and aerodynamic look. Further, four internal dividers inside the main compartment organize and separate your gear. Oversized and padded straps (along with a padded backing) make the Swift comfortable and an eye-catcher on or off the bike.
Bags Connection
Baracuda Drybag Backpack $99.99
When it absolutely, positively cannot get wet, the Baracuda Drybag backpack is the answer. Similar to a military-issue rucksack in style, the Baracuda is made from welded waterproof PVC—there’s no way water is getting in. Open the bag and 25 liters of storage space is available with padded internal pockets for supplies. Capable of fitting 15-inch laptops, the Baracuda shoulder strap is able to be detached with a quick connector, making it easier to put the backpack on when wearing a jacket. Molded back pads channel air down the back for comfort and the shoulder and chest straps distribute the load evenly.
