Description
A woven, adjustable waist strap with a buckle to keep the pack secure as you ride - tuck the waist strap away behind the padded panels when not in use. The Small Backpack is a compact version of the popular Rapha Backpack. This lightweight bag has concealed pockets for organising your essentials.
Made from a water-resistant Cordura® fabric, padded panels are positioned to follow the curve of the rider’s spine for comfort and extra stability when riding. Inside the backpack, the storage compartments have been carefully considered so that your go-to belongings can be easily accessed. On the rear outer, a retroreflective stripe reflects light in multiple directions, for increased visibility.
Please note: Gift wrap is not available on this item.

Smart!
I was after a small, smart looking rucksack, more for general work use than commuting by bike - and it's perfect for this.
I haven't used it for cycling yet so can't really comment, but worth noting that the shoulder straps aren't padded, so if you're lugging a lap top every day you might wish they were. But what's great is that it's a small, smart rucksack that doesn't look like you're going hiking / climbing. As such, it's pretty minimal in terms of pockets / compartments.
It's fairly small so it's well suited for travelling light. If you're someone that likes to take extra stuff 'just in case' then you'll probably want to go for a larger size.

Perfect.
I wanted something minimal, high quality, and good for everyday use and occasional bike commuting. It's everything I hoped for. It feels very well made, and expertly designed. The straps don't have padding, but I'm not wearing this for very long periods of time. There are only a few pockets, but they are well placed. There is a padded inner sleeve that fits my Macbook. The front pocket is placed so that you can still keep one arm in the strap, and swing it around to access. I love that you can lay this pack down flat, and completely unzip the front. Brilliant. It makes for smart packing. Also the pink rain cover is awesome.

Great little rucksack!
Just what I've been after for a while. Small, subtle, fits well and keeps its shape.
I'll keep this short and just add to some other reviews.
- the shoulder straps are basically like seatbelts
- they provide a close fit and should fit your coat if you loosen them. I'm 6' and 84kg so no racing snake and the bag fits fine (incl. waist strap)
- the waist straps can be tucked away into the back of the lower back pad. It has a 2" gap either side that has no stitching in which you can poke the waist band in to stop it dangling.

Perfect size
I bought this a few months ago and I'm very happy with it. The backpack is just the size I wanted. I'm able to snuggly store my laptop away in a decimated compartment and still have room for some essentials - clothes and a towel, for example. It is also very comfortable to wear, even in hot weather and the rain cover is neat (it will hold off a shower without it). It's been highly durable so far and has excellent build quality.
I ride all year round and do around 30-40 miles on my daily commute if that is any sort of guide.

Simplify
Buy a smaller backpack - you will be forced to carry less - thanks Rapha. I only wish there was a way to minimize the waist straps so they are not always dangling. I miss the chest strap too.

Minimalistic and therefore very handy
I needed a handy backpack for commuting and this bag is exactly that. Enough room for everyday necessities and waterproof, which is pretty usefull here in Belgium! No fuss.. great value.

Great design and quality. Fits laptop charger notebook and a large jacket without problems. Shoulder strap isn't padded but this is not problem as its a comfortable fit.

The product details mentioned it could fit up to a 15 inch laptop. Yet, one of the answer to the question said that it will not be able to carry a 15 inch macbook pro. Any way you could enlighten me?
Hi, the Small Backpack will fit a 15" laptop. However, it will not fit if the laptop is in a case and if you would like slightly more room, we would recommend the Backpack or Rucksack.
