Description
The hybrid bike pannier and backpack that helps you take on the city
Equally great on and off of your bike
Ride your bike one day, take a train the next – rather than moving items between bags, this hybrid pannier lets you use one bag for every commute. It has all the style, feature sets and comfort you expect of your favourite backpack, with the option to attach it directly on your bike. The pannier is super easy to put on and take off your bike, and quickly converts into a backpack. Simply unzip the back panel, flip it over and rezip the panel so that the backpack shoulder straps are ready to use.
Protect your gear, stay visible at night
This bag combines the weather-resistance of a bike pannier with the thoughtful organisation of a backpack. Weather-resistant materials and organised, padded protection keeps your laptop, tablet and documents safe. When the rain is heavy or the sun goes down, the reflective rain cover keeps you visible and your valuables dry.
A bag that complements your style
With a modern look that is distinctly Thule, the bags’ clean, modern styling and rich earth-tone colours and are ready for a business casual workday, or a meetup with friends after work.
