<\/a><\/div>\n

I am already a huge fan of the SealLine Urban Backpack, I reviewed it here before<\/a>. I have been using the SealLine Urban Shoulder Bag lately and it is just as good, if not better than the backpack, but in convenient courier bag form. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The bag is really well thought out. The people who work at SealLine must ride, because this has everything you’d want in a bag after using other bags for a while and realizing what they are missing.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
It has a large main compartment divided in to two sections for a laptop and clothes.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The size large can fit a ton of stuff while still being really easy to ride with. I like the well thought out features on the inside.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It has two bottle holders on the inside, one perfectly holds a soulrun tool roll<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Then there is a built in organizer  to hold wallet, cell phone, pens, etc.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Oh and of course, the trademark super long keychain holder built in, so you don’t have to unclip you keys to use them.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And one more nicely sized pocket on the outside of bag. Oh it fits a soulrun iphone case no problem<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

The clasp to close the bag is unique to SealLine, it is the same one used on the Urban Backpack and takes a few times opening\/closing the bag to get used to. But then it works with a hitch and doesn’t make the awful velcro tearing noise like the other bags out there.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The bag also has a attachment point on the bottom for your blinky.<\/p>\n

The shoulder strap adjustment is similar to Timbuk2 but a little more secure, you can’t adjust it while riding, but how often do you really do that?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

The back is padded and vented.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And to give you an idea of how big the large is, here it is on me, a 5’10” 145 pound dude.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Stuffed with a macbook pro, pants, shirt, drawls, undershirt, tools, wallet, etc… it is a really comfortable pack. And if there is any question as to how waterproof it is, SealLine has been doing waterproof gear for a long, long time.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Overall I would say this is the nicest courier bag I have used. It is really well thought out, incredibly well made, comfortable loaded up and a good deal at the price.  <\/p>\n

SealLine says:<\/b><\/a>
Constructed of a burly, waterproof 600D, urethane-coated polyester, these bags are built to last in your fast-forward world. Quick-Clip\u2122<\/sup> closures allow for easy access to an external zip pocket, and an internal organizer keeps your stuff at your fingertips. An internal divider and corner pockets add commuter-smart organization, and the innovative Modular Accessory Pocket (M.A.P.) system attaches Zip Pockets or Mobile Electronic Cases. The shoulder strap provides one-handed adjustability and both it and the back panel are padded, waterproof and ventilated for comfort. The finishing touches are good clean looks, carry handle, bike-friendly hideaway waist belt and a light clip-loop to keep you visible. <\/p>\n
