This bag has a 24 liter capacity with two easy access exterior water-resistant zippered pockets. Inside, this bag helps you stay organized with a lid pocket and interior divider; perfect for a laptop. For the safety-conscious, there is a very visible reflective tape sewn along the bottom. The fabric used for this bag is made from reclaimed sail cloth, made in Portland, OR. It comes in a variety of modern patterns and colors, which are also limited edition colors, so yours will always be unique!

Pros

An ideal “do many things” backpack, this bag feels great on your back while walking around town and still feels good when you get on your bike or decide to go on an afternoon adventure. I regularly fit my Macbook Pro, mouse and charger, lunch and a water bottle in it. This backpack is the perfect size for my daily needs, and deterred me from carrying too much. In a pinch, you should know it fits three six-packs or two bottles of wine.

Cons

Though it fits great on your back, I'm still a fan of not riding with weight on my back. A few hidden pannier clips would make this knapsack a must have!

Ideal Rider

This knapsack is for anyone who is looking for comfort and style to carry their belongings around town.

Overall

The Truce Drop Liner is a stylish everyday use backpack. Its design allows you to pack all you need for the day and feel great! I highly recommend the fit of the small for women with smaller backs. I'm 5'1” and the Small Drop Liner fits like a glove.
