Why choose a special Vélotaf backpack?

Unlike conventional backpacks, models dedicated to velotaf incorporate specific technical features: Ergonomic portage, waterproof materials, Reinforced compartments, Reflective strips, Helmet fixings, etc. All in a modern and urban design.

These backpacks are designed to withstand intensive daily use, bad weather, while guaranteeing comfort and adaptability to cycling movements.

The criteria to be taken into account to choose your Vélotaf backpack well:

• Backpack capacity

A bicycle backpack for daily use varies typically Between 15 and 30 liters, depending on the quantity and type of objects you need to transport.

- 15 to 20 liters : Ideal for essential objects: a laptop, a book or a tablet, and your lunch.

- 20 to 30 liters : Perfect if you should transport spare clothes or additional equipment (repair kit, etc.) in addition to your daily essentials.

• Waterproofing and sustainability
  

Protecting your things from bad weather is essential by bicycle. Favor waterproof materials like the nylon or the recycled polyester, both light, robust and water -resistant.

For maximum protection, opt for models with Waterproof closures such as Protected zips by waterproof bands or Roll-up closing systems (Roll-Top) as proposed Ortlieb.  There sustainability is just as important. Opt for bags with solid and designed constructions for intensive daily use such as those offered by Detect.

• Comfort and ergonomics

Opt for a backpack with padded straps, of a ventilated back and a ventral strap To better distribute the weight reducing the tension on the shoulders and the back. Detect is recognized for his aitripes back system which improves air ventilation while ensuring excellent stability.

• Compartments and organization

A Vélotaf backpack must facilitate storage:

- padded compartment To protect the computer

- Interior pockets secure for valuables

- Accessible pockets quickly for keys or phone
