Well priced for the quality and features on offer, with an adaptable strap design
Chrome Industries Corbet 24L Pack is a well-made and feature-filled backpack with some quirky design choices that may annoy or delight, depending on your needs – as with many things Cycling, there's no right or wrong luggage, just what suits on this particular ride. It's possibly a good choice for those in and out of cafés with laptops all day.The Corbet is a significant bit of kit. At 1.
The Corbet has substantial padding on the straps and back, meaning carrying heavy loads is comfortable with either strap configuration. The removable sternum strap can be adjusted over a wide range, again to suit wearers of varied stature.The main compartment is an odd mix of the brilliant, practical and slightly annoying. An issue I have with all backpacks is the colour of the inside. Really, it should be compulsory for insides of packs to be a lighter colour to make finding things much easier.
Adding to this issue is how you fix the top flap. There's one wide strap with a huge plastic buckle at the top, which is completely obscured by the internally reinforced top flap. So you have to bend the flap back to access the buckle, often making it a two-handed effort. Honestly, it's easier to think of the Corbet as a zipped side-entry pack, with an optional top flap.
Inside on the front of the pack there's another zipped pocket about small-tablet sized, with a couple of phone-sized pockets sewn on the outside for arranging small items. Yes, in theory this works, but the previously mentioned open nature of the bag top means wheeling it about on its side over rough surfaces or up and down stairs is asking for smaller items to eventually jiggle their way out and into the world without you knowing.I have a Samsonite backpack that's been my go-to pairing with roller cabin luggage for years, where the entire back padding is a sleeve for the extended roller bag handle to slip through vertically.
Chrome Industries says:"Classic new 24L backpack with T-Lok adjustable straps and a flap-top entry for quick access to your gear - all of which mean more time for the good stuff the day has to bring. Guaranteed for life.
