The magnets close it for you when you drop the flap, which sounds trivial and is wonderful with hands full. Cycling to work, it stays put.

Using it
- Pivot the strap to your back while cycling, to your chest for stops
- Use the pass-through on travel days and zip it closed in the city
- Empty the cable organiser weekly so the flap lies flat
Care
- Wipe weather-finished edges with a damp cloth, then dry
- Condition the flap crease twice a year
Please note
- The finish shrugs off drizzle, not a downpour - dry it standing open
- Do not store with the strap tightly coiled, which kinks it
- Keep the magnets away from hotel key cards and hearing aids

Great commuter. The pass-through slot saved me at the airport. Would love a brighter lining, but that is taste, not quality.
Before you ask
Cascade questions, answered
01Is it stable while cycling?
That is the design brief - the wide padded strap pivots at the shoulder so the bag rotates to your back and stays there. Pivot it to your chest at stops.
02Does it fit a 13-inch laptop?
Yes, in a dedicated sleeve under the flap, alongside a cable organiser and a paperback.
03How waterproof is it?
The edges are weather-finished and shrug off a short rain walk. It is not a downpour bag - if soaked, dry it standing open away from heat.
04What is the luggage pass-through?
A vertical slot on the back that slides over a suitcase handle, so the bag rides on top of your rolling case. Zip it closed in daily use.
