Outdoor clothing company Keen has launched the Commuter cycle messenger bag. Made from tough polyester ripstop shell packed with features this is a bag designed to make lugging around your gear easier and more comfortable.

Inside the stylish outer is a padded laptop sleeve to stop your computer getting battered, a main compartment which is waterproofed to keep your valuable contents safe and a zippered stash pocket for quick access.

To keep you hydrated on the move, or if your bicycle frame doesn’t accept bottle cages perhaps, there are two side-mounted water bottle pockets so you need never be caught short. Mandatory for a commuting bag there are lots of reflective details on the front and sides, and a wide padded shoulder strap makes lugging your heavy contents around a cinch.

With an eye towards sustainability, the large rubber bottom is made from recycled material while recycled aluminium and polyester is used throughout.

Available now priced £85 and available from shops and www.keeneurope.eu.
