I wanted a bag I could wear as a backpack to bring inside, that was lighter than those on offer, and only had the minimum pockets I needed, nothing extra. This one has an interior elastic band to hold my laptop against the back panel, a side zip pocket for phone/wallet/keys, and a side elastic pocket for water bottle. The front elastic mesh pocket is for jacket or gloves or whatever I take off part way through my morning ride. The pack straps snap to the back panel frame and are out of the way for cycling but easy to release for use.
It weighs 812g with the luggage block frame and measures 25.5cm high (unrolled = 45cm), 40.5cm wide, and 15.2cm deep
It’s based off of some similar designs from my hiking pack, and uses the same material: Xpac v21. Overall, for my first real sewing project, I’m pretty happy with it!

Amazing! I’m thinking about such a project for months
