Bicycle backpacks from Gusti: versatile, durable, and multifunctional
Backpacks are ideal for use while cycling because, unlike crossbody bags, shoulder bags, and the like, they cannot simply slide forward between your legs and become a hazard to the cyclist. The ideal bike backpack has a capacity of between 15 and 20 liters, making it comparable to the ever-popular daypack.
Unlike conventional Gusti Leather backpacks, however, our Gusti Leather bike backpacks feature special features and design elements specifically tailored to the needs of cyclists. For example, some models have additional adapters permanently built into the backpack, allowing it to be used as a handlebar bag or a rack bag . Others, in turn, feature reflective panels deliberately integrated into the backpack’s design, ensuring enhanced visibility for cyclists during the darker months of the year.
Otherwise, our bicycle backpacks are also distinguished by their durability, which not only impresses with their unique design but also captivates with their suitability for everyday use and their visual and functional versatility. From sporty-casual and classically elegant to romantically whimsical and sleekly modern, from leather backpacks with a vintage character to models right on the cutting edge.
Goat leather, Cowhide leather, or Buffalo leather—which leather best meets your expectations?
In our collection, we offer you bike backpacks made from three different types of leather. You therefore have the choice between:
- Goat leather,
- Cowhide leather, and
- Buffalo leather.
Bicycle backpacks made of Goat leather are usually a bit stiffer at first, but become very supple and soft very quickly with regular use. Models made of Cowhide leather and Buffalo leather, on the other hand, are slightly more robust than those made of Goat leather due to their naturally stronger material. Even after some time, these leathers still feel slightly firmer in their structure, although they naturally become softer as well. So decide for yourself which leather best reflects your expectations for your new bike backpack.
