Smaller than expected...

On: 2007-12-27

420 cubic inches is really not that much, though it is enough to carry the bare essentials for a commuter - during the summer. For winter commuters, its simply not large enough, though thats my own fault for not making sure it would be big enough, so no stars deducted for that.

What I did deduct points for, is the poor latching mechanism. It doesnt lock as its supposed to, leaving the bag prone to come flying off if a large enough bump is hit. Though if you have an adjustable (re-useable) zip tie, this easily fixed - or even some string and some good knotwork skills...It -is-, however, possible that I got a defect.
