Review: Craft Cadence Rolltop Backpack
The Craft Cadence 21 liter backpack is a seam-sealed water-proof roll top backpack with surprising versatility. Roll top packs are common here in the rainy pacific northwest, as a water resistant pack is a requirement for year round bicycle commuting. However, durable, fully waterproof packs are often heavy, one-trick ponies, useful for commuting, but often […]

Lighten Your Load with the Fernhill Co LTL Frame Bag

We’ve made an effort to use and test most of the waist packs out there but our experience with Euro-brand Evoc is limited, so it was time to take a closer look. Earlier this year we had a chance to get our hands on the Hip Pouch and Race Belt from Evoc bags. The Hip […]
