Novara E.T.A. Backpack
Description
Active Junky Badass Gear Winner
This one packs in 19L of essentials (and more) with compression straps to put less bounce in every ounce. Ride in confidence, look good in the process.
Active Junky grabbed this one for cycle commuting. After all, why pop out a Candy Crush-orange rain cover unless you’re competing for lane space? Somehow, Novara manages to pack 19L of storage into a low profile design, one that never impairs neck movement or visibility. Wide, high-density shoulder straps overcome payloads rife with laptops, water bottles, food and cobra-like bike cables. Quick access to the exterior accessories pocket converted ETA to a mobile coffee-shop office without digging into the internal, compression strapped body. Active Junky gravitated to the exterior helmet bungee along with removable waist belt. Sternum strap security would benefit from elastic even as it slides to find a comfort point on the chest. Dig the hidden pump sleeve and ride in confidence to your next appointment with destiny.
