Urban Ex Pannier 2.0 — Waterproof carrier bag and shoulder bag or tote
This ultimate commuter bag features Chrome’s signature timeless aesthetic without compromising on functionality. The Urban Ex Pannier 2.0 Rolltop is compact, robust, waterproof, super light — and thus the perfect companion in the city. But also on gravel paths or when multi-day bikepacking. With its adjustable three-point click system, it can be attached wobble-proof to front or rear racks when the load is to be shifted from the back to the bike. Many thoughtful details, such as a padded 13″ laptop compartment, reflective attachment loops on the front (also suitable for a U-lock), a padded TPU back and a length-adjustable, detachable shoulder strap as well as additional carrying handles make this drybag lightweight an absolute must-have. Getting wet is not an issue with him. That’s because abrasion-resistant, PU-coated 600D polyester fabric is used for the material, and the bottom is made of sturdy rubber. Chrome’s proprietary Knurled Welded technology ensures reliable waterproofing even at sensitive points such as seams and edges. These are welded in a complex high-frequency process. This saves material and thus weight and gives water no chance. With its capacity of 21 liters, the bike bag offers plenty of space and can be significantly expanded by the roll closure, so that even high or bulky cargo can find space.
