Portero™ Roll-Top Backpack

Awesome bag and quality!

Beautiful well made backpack, with a comfortable harness system.

Almost great!

Overall I am very happy with this backpack. I got it to replace a cycling commuter specific backpack I’d been using for 8 years that had many pockets and loads of zippers. That bag’s weakness was the zippers which all began failing at the same time. So a roll top bag was appealing to me. Fewer pockets to lose stuff in meant I needed to trim down what I would carry which meant my pack was lighter. The two things that keep this bag from 5 stars for me are: the Velcro strips that help hold down the roll top combined with the xpac fabric are very loud when pulling apart. Also, the chest strap and belt are sold separately, which I missed when I ordered, which means I don’t have them. A chest strap would be required if I was wearing this on my bike.
