The backpacks have a variable capacity of 25-35 litres and have a main compartment, as well as a laptop/iPad compartment (up to 17″). There’s also a small Press Button Bag with SIP tape logo attached to the main bag, which is handy for storing smaller items that you need easy access to.
The bag also features sturdy side straps that can be used to attach additional items if required and there’s a zipped side pocket for your mobile phone/power packs etc.
To make carrying it easy on a Vespa, there’s a loop at the top of the bag to attach to your scooter’s luggage hook, or it can be fastened around your legshields. SIP tell us the bag has a low centre of gravity and has been designed to not get in the way of your feet whilst riding if attached to the Vespa hook.
