Waterproof roll-top for the urban cyclist

Cyclists and roll-top backpacks go together like rain and roadworks, and the Metron WP 25 from Osprey is specially designed for the regular bike commuter. Made in fully waterproof double-laminated TPU nylon, the top features a secure magnetic closure as well as the standard roll-and-hook system. Inside, there’s a removable padded laptop sleeve with a zipped stretch mesh compartment, and you’ve also got a water-resistant zip pocket on the front for quick-access bits and bobs. Roll-tops can often be a bit basic in the backpanel department, but not this one – it uses the same comfortable Airscape system as many of Osprey’s other packs, with mesh-covered ridged foam over an Atilon foam framesheet. Teamed with the padded harness, removable webbing hipbelt and adjustable sternum strap, it all adds up to a comfortable, dependable companion for the dedicated two-wheeler.
