Osprey’s New Radial and Metron Commuter Bike Packs

Osprey’s New Commute Packs with Hi-Vis Rain Cover for All Weather Riding

 
Osprey launched two new bike commute packs for Fall, the Radial, and Metron. The Radial includes their supportive and comfortable Adjustable AirSpeed trampoline backpanel, the Integrated kickstand to keep the pack body upright, and lots of organizational pockets and compartments. The Metron features their StraightJacket compression with foam sidewalls and conformable AirScape backpanel. Both packs feature LidLock bike helmet attachment system, a padded laptop/tablet sleeve, removable hipbelt, a sternum strap with an emergency whistle, stretch mesh side pocket, and an integrated high visibility raincover.

Bike commuting is no longer an obscure mode of transportation pursued by your eccentric officemates. For urban city dwellers, it’s often a more economical and quicker option than sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours to make a ten-mile trip; frankly, it’s the new normal. In response to growing demand, we’ve developed unique options that accommodate both hardcore Strava-using commuting junkies as well as rolled-up-pant-leg urbanites. We provide the best fit and function on the market so that no matter how you ride, you’ll ride better with Osprey.

Radial

Intentional design is intelligent design, and bike commuters need to be ready to handle anything as they travel through town. The Radial provides commute-specific features like a high-visibility raincover and organization for electronics and bike gear.

Offering more than the competition, we also include an AirSpeed backpanel for enhanced ventilation, a comfortable harness that moves as you ride, and the unexpected Kickstand to keep your pack delightfully upright.  It comes in Black and Rise Orange color schemes for $180.

We reviewed the Radial 26 back in 2015/2016 and loved it. My son ended up using it for school until the dog ate the straps!
