Bag manufacturer Chrome has been producing messenger bags used by bicycle couriers worldwide since 1993.
Chrome has taken their extensive experience designing bags that can withstand the rigors of the urban environment and released a line of waterproof backpacks that can hold its own on the mean streets of cities around the world.
The designs, by President Mark Falvai, challenge the assumptions of how waterproof bags should be built.
The ground-breaking design brings together two separate, and typically opposed, ideologies of backpack construction.
On the outside is a superior all-weather backpack with large easy access external cargo pockets, urethane coated YKK zippers, adjustable sternum strap, and unbreakable stainless steel hardware.
On the inside is a fully waterproof liner with high frequency RF welded seams, creating a totally watertight bag.
According to Falvai, "He wanted to design an urban backpack that was capable of handling all aspects of life.
This dual-bag design creates a bag that is equally suited to land and sea."
Chrome's line of waterproof backpacks breaks new ground in providing versatility and durability in a technical, yet subtle style for urban trekking.
In addition, Falvai says, "There is need in urban bike culture for a bag that can be used every day, year-round, under any condition.
Their product allows the consumer to break the myth that multiple bags are better than one."
