2pure
CRANKBROTHERS’ LUGGAGE range includes the big, tough and simple Baseline Gear Bag for £99.99. The gigantic main compartment has enough space to carry plenty of gear for a week in the Alps or at a 24 hour race. The outer front pocket is perfect for smaller items like keys, money and spares. The Alley Messenger Bag (also £99.99) is designed for full days in the city with enough space to carry everything you will need, despite being a manageable size when empty. It’s ideal for courier work or the hard-core commuter, says 2pure. Crankbrothers also supply the Gutter Messenger Bag (£129.99). Taking design cues for the Alley, the Gutter is as tough, spacious and versatile yet is more suited to carrying heavier loads due to the rucksack style straps.
