Hairy Posted September 15, 2014 Share Do any of you have a "commuters specific" type bag?Not really commuter specific, but it has features that I would consider very important. pull over rain coverside pockets for tubes, pump, keys, etcsmaller top pocket with zip for small goodies that are a of valuemain compartment has two zippers and they go rather far down the side of the bag allowing easy accessmain compartment can be accessed from the underside of the bag via a large zipperunderside of bag is a nice thick waterproof materialwaist and chest strapsRetention straps to reduce the overall "volume" of the back when packed .... keeps things nice and tight.reflective strips are a bonus.Test I do to my bags when buying them is to open the top of the bag and then step into the bag .... if your foot goes in easily and there is a decent space left, then you know you can pack your shoes in easily.
