Backpack with Waterproof Roll-Down Flap
FREITAG's original first model was a messenger bag crafted from truck tarpaulins.
Even at the time of FREITAG's founding, bicycles were already the most suitable mode of transport within the inner city. Messengers who made their living on bikes were the most stringent and demanding bag testers on asphalt, and this remains true today.
The "F151 VICTOR" messenger backpack and "F153 JAMIE" hip bag, released this time, are unique bags designed for all urban cyclists, offering maximum functionality and having undergone rigorous testing.
The "F151 VICTOR" is a multifunctional, large-capacity messenger backpack. It features padding on the back and a waterproof roll-down flap at the top.
