As well as shoes for racing, SiDi are surprisingly good at making small rucksacks that happen to be perfect for the cycle-commute. The Caribo is 20l capacity, that means a large 17" screen notebook computer can be carried with a change of clothes and with enough room for lunchables.

The pocket has an organiser for pens, pencils, cycle tools and a spare inner tube. Mesh side pockets on either side are large enough for gloves, foot items and so on. Importantly the side pockets are deep enough so that nothing falls out on the way.

The attention to detail on the Caribo bag is extraordinary. There is an opening at the top for use with a hydration system, e.g. 'Camelbak'. At the bottom of the bag is a separate pocket for storing wet weather gear, safely away from the main compartment.

It is hard to find a rucksack that provides the ventilation to the back that high energy cycling demands. The SiDi caribo has a frame and mesh back that keeps the bag away from the back, the only contact points are the shoulder straps and the waist strap. The waist strap on the Caribo keeps the bag contents under control whatever the riding conditions.

The Caribo is the perfect deluxe gift for any cyclist, whether they race, ride off-road or enjoy the commute the two-wheeled way.
