Description
The “Classic” backpack model is 2650 cubic inches (43.4 liters) in the same design as the Elite Convertible Pannier Backpack, but without the front panniers/backpack’s side pockets. Conversion is simply a case of sliding out and attaching the backpack’s internal frame to the bike, and removing the shoulder harness and waist belt, before attaching the panniers to the rear rack. (Note also that if desired, the pack can be used without the internal frame for ultra fast conversions.) External capacity is enhanced by the generous capacity of the vertical compression straps. Both the Elite and Classic pannier backpacks now come with the “Piggyback Sack” included as standard for carrying the shoulder harness while riding the bike, though a second is also possible to order if required.
Please note that the Classic model does not feature the hardware for accommodating the front panniers, and therefore will never be “upwardly compatible”. If you think you will need front panniers, you should take a look at the Elite Convertible Pannier Backpack system.

Your bag is a warrior: falls, mud, rain, planes, trains…and still like new. I wish I would have bought the bigger one with the front panniers…

Incredible design. Function, versatility and quality all in one.
