Brooks Dalston

The backpack features a dedicated internal sleeve designed to securely hold a laptop up to 13 inches. If you carry a larger device, it will likely not fit in the designated compartment.

It is constructed from waterproof ripstop nylon and utilizes an Aquaguard zip, which provides excellent protection against rain and road spray. While it is highly water-resistant and suitable for daily city riding, it is not fully submersible.

The 12L volume is compact and best suited for daily essentials like a laptop, a light jacket, a notebook, and a few personal items. It is designed as a streamlined daypack rather than a bag for heavy gear or overnight trips.

The Dalston is lightweight at just 1.37 lbs, making it easy to carry for extended periods. However, it lacks a sternum strap or hip belt, so it is optimized for shorter urban commutes rather than long-distance cycling or hiking.

The bag does not include specific anti-theft features like locking zippers or hidden pockets. It relies on a straightforward, minimalist design that prioritizes quick access to your belongings.

Yes, the dimensions and capacity of the Dalston make it fully compliant with standard airline carry-on requirements. Its compact size allows it to fit easily under most airplane seats.
