This is a waterproof full-featured Top-loading Messenger backpack with enough room for your daily commute and a trip to the grocery store on your way home. The quadruple front organizer pockets are protected by a Storm-proof Flap. Three separate zippered pockets keep your gear organized. A large opened slot behind these pockets gives you easy access to your U-Lock, while the vertical zippered pocket can be accessed without opening the flap. Lash points on the side pockets let you attach the accessory side pockets. Dual blinker mounts and multiple attachment points for reflective strips keep you visible at night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Urban Commuter (bike, transit, auto)

As a Porltand, Oregon commuter, I really enjoy this bag. Everything has stayed dry even in the most torrential of downpours whilst I am on my bike. The size of the multiple storage compartments (aka pockets) are varied in size and let you organize things as such. I would recommend if you have a laptop to either get the one from VELO itself or find one that fits your computation device. If this bag were a women on OkCupid.com I would ask it out and maybe marry it. But it's a bag. Woe is me.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband who rides his bike to and from work. He loves it! There is more than enough room for his tablet, bike lock, personal effects, and two changes of clothes (one for the gym and the other for going out after work). Also, we had some huge down pours here in Denver lately and even though he got soaked on his ride home, everything in the bag stayed dry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pack, but it didn't come as ordered

The pack I got in the mail doesn't have the black strip in the middle as the picture advertises. Although I actually prefer it without the strip, it seems odd that the bag isn't exactly what is advertised.
Otherwise, this bag has so far proven to be surprisingly comfortable, especially thanks to the waist and chest straps. I also really like that there is a space between the shoulder straps and the front of the bag where I can put my U-lock while I'm riding. Very cool.
The bag doesn't come with any side pouches, but you can order them from the seller on their website and basically customize the pouches and utilities that fit your needs best.
I can tell that this bag is going to last me a few good years, and it's perfect for weekend trips since you can cram a lot of stuff inside.
Love this pack, love wearing it and definitely worth the money!

Beautifully made. This backpack is very comfortable because of the fitted back piece. The zippers and clips are all well made. The pack is waterproof and quite visible. It is expensive but you get what you pay for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great waterproof backpack - stylish and high quality
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2012
I have recently started a walk/bus commute in which I walk several miles each day in Seattle. Consequently I needed a comfortable, waterproof backpack that also looks professional. Sure, you can get one of the large plastic sack bags with a roll top that looks like they would survive a roll over on your kayak. They are quite waterproof but do not look very professional. I have the District 30 which is a fantastic pack. It is a bit bigger than the Compact 25 but very similar in most ways. I had a hard time deciding which one to get. Either would have been a great purchase. Let me tell you about the District 30 since it is the one that I have. I have been using it for several weeks now and I have some observations.
1. Comfort - This bag is the most comfortable backpack I have ever owned. The company founder and pack designer has designed this bag with comfort in mind.
2. Professional/stylish - This pack comes in many colors and I have the all black one. Let me just say that this is a cool and stylish looking pack. It has a roll top pack which I will cover later but it does not look like a large plastic bag. Regardless of the fact that it is waterproof, it is a great looking bag. It also has several other pockets for keys, papers, iPad, etc. It is not a one chamber bag.
3. Waterproof - While I have not had the opportunity to try it in one of the big Seattle downpours yet, I have faced a few showers with everything staying completely dry. The main roll top chamber of the bag is lined with a waterproof liner. The outside pockets of the pack are protected with a waterproof flap. I have confidence that this bag will protect all of my items.
4. Quality - You will not find a better pack for any price. The padding is great, the stitching is hefty and it is put together to last. This pack is hand made in Seattle. You can certainly pay less for a mass made pack but it will not be waterproof nor will it have this high quality. For all of the money I am saving riding the bus, I decided to invest in a quality pack. Why not?

So in summary, you cannot go wrong with any of the Velo Transit backpacks. They are high quality, waterproof, comfortable and built right here in Seattle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bag for a rainy urban commute
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2011
I just received this bag as a gift for Christmas and currently live in Seattle so I have already had a couple of opportunities to test out the functionality and "water proofness", so far the bag seems solid. I have a two hour commute and many times, in the rain, I carry a couple of books a change of clothes, mobile phone, u-lock, and a bottle of water and everything has remained dry and there is still room to put more stuff in it. At first i thought that my stuff would get wet because the top of the bag has a draw string and then a large flap that comes over, where as most of the other bags have a roll over top, but like I said, "I'm in Seattle", and everything stayed dry. There are plenty of pockets and so far so good on the comfort level. There are also two reflective strips which helps in keeping me seen. I also had a problem at first registering my bag online and when I called the customer service was excellent. So, so far my overall impression is it's a great bag there are other bags that I looked at from more popular companies, but many of them are made overseas and this one is made in the USA which means a lot to me and I don't mind that it may cost a little more.
