Description: This over the shoulder bag was a revisit to a design idea explored in my Cycling Sling Mk-1. The bag is design for my gym climbing gear and I have been using it ever since it was completed. The design is intended to act as a cycling bag and allows for easy storage and transport of gear as well as organization of smaller items.

Features: The bag features a removable adjustable waist belt which is attached via a girth hitch to the bottom webbing loops and a mini carabiner to the shoulder strap loops. It also has a removable HDPE frame sheet attached via Velcro to the inside back panel of the bag. The bag has two main pockets with mirrored slash zip closures, and an expanding mesh water bottle pocket on the exterior. Additional features are an interior key clip and organizational pockets as well as a sewn in magnetic bar for cycling light attachment.

Materials: 420D ROBIC PU Coated Nylon. Lycra and Nylon Mesh, YKK #5 Aquaguard Zippers, Nylon Webbing, Nite Ize Reflective Cord, 1/8” HDPE Sheet, Velcro Hook and Loop (for frame attachment)

Process: Hand sketched with the pattern designed from the Mk-1 bag’s in Rhino and Adobe Illustrator and then made in paper by hand (lack of access to laser cutter). The panels were then cut and sewn by me. The frame was cut from HDPE sheet stock and hook and loop was bonded to it using spray on adhesive.
