When you’re in it for the long haul, you’ve got to keep your stuff on lock. Built with lightweight Knurled Welded™ construction in a sleek silhouette, the updated Urban Ex 18 adds a bunch of new features to make one of our most popular bags even more versatile. We added a watertight quick access compartment for keys, phone and wallet and more internal organization pockets to keep everything squared away even when you’re hitting it hard. Working with cyclists of all shapes and sizes, we improved the shoulder harness design to be more comfortable and adaptable than on any bag we’ve made before. This is the toughest, most resilient bag you’ll ever own.

We improved the original UrbExes to make them even more functional and comfortable to wear. Welding the padded EVA back panel into the frame of the bag keeps the bag waterproof and the wearer comfortable - the added quick-access pockets keep essentials close and out of the weather.

Seam taping only goes so far toward keeping something fully waterproof. The UrbEx series has fully-RF-welded seams for a complete seal that carries our highest waterproof rating.
This bag has lasted me well with near daily use over the last year and a half and is still in good condition. My only issue is that this is not fully waterproof, the pocket and zip on the back leak water, its unfortunate they went to the effort of creating this 'waterproof' bag cutting a leaking hole in the back.

Bag looks neat, but that's about it. Buckle in the front broke within the first 6 months of use. The double pockets are on opposing sides and make putting stuff in the main compartment a nightmare. I'm constantly struggling to shove stuff to the bottom of the bag bc it gets stuck at the top where the pockets are bloated inward. This is overall a huge disappointment and I wish I would have gotten a different bag. I'm a bicycle commuter and liked that this bag was waterproof, which it is, but it's just really poor design and quality. (See photos). The back zipper panel is also fraying. Very expensive bag for what you get. Woof.

I purchased this backpack because my Osprey pack wasn't waterproof, which is a requirement if you bike commute in rainy Eugene, Oregon. I generally like this backpack because it's very sturdy and lives up to it's claim of being waterproof. I deducted a star because the material is a bit stiff and inflexible, especially on colder mornings and I was a bit disappointed in the size of the laptop pouch (more like a tablet pouch). Overall though I'm satisfied and appreciate the loops for my bike lock and how the bag rides on my back.
