The discreetly fashionable packsack from Campagnolo is made of heavy, waterproof material and looks very robust: the straps, buckles and zips are large, the roll closure has sturdy inlays and everything is double and triple stitched. A set of clothes and a small laptop fit into the slim, high main compartment, while bottles, helmets or shoes can be attached to the outside with Velcro straps or elasticated bands. Comfortable shoulder straps with chest and waist buckles secure the weight well on the back in a racing bike position, and all straps are also easy to use with one hand. The additional pockets - one inside and two outside with sealed zips - are more suitable for documents or mobile phones. We had to lengthen the elasticated strap to fit a helmet underneath. We didn't find a holder for the pannier rack, but it could be retrofitted with a bit of skill. Nevertheless, it is a high-quality rucksack for cyclists that promises many years of enjoyment and is also a practical companion off the road.
