But shine a light directly on it — like car headlights — and it reveals its true nature: its reflective. That subtle feature adds to its appeal as a commuter pack, as it adds some safety in low-light conditions, helping make the wearer more visible.
Along with being durable and reflective, the fabric is also water-resistant, helping keep its contents dry in inclement weather — another boon to city-going commuters. It also gets a quick-release clip on the shoulder strap, as well as an external keyring that doubles as a bottle opener in a pinch.
Utilitarian dynamo
As minimalist as its exterior is, this bag is hiding some serious internal organization. The main pouch (accessible via a YKK zipper), for instance, has a large primary compartment, a couple of pouches (sized for iPhones and wallets and the like), and a secondary internal zippered pouch for smaller and more sensitive items.
The scheme is simple but comprehensive, allowing you to keep all your EDC gear (and anything else you might be carrying around) orderly and easily-accessed. But that’s just the start.
