USE :: shopping, commuting, shopping, stylin'
VOL :: 1600 in3/26 L
DIM :: approx. 15x13x7 in
WT :: 32 oz/900 gr
COLORS :: black/dried grasses
CARBO FACTOR :: 10 baguettesMAX LOAD :: 15 lbs or thereabouts - basically, the rubber bottom is not reinforced to save weight and cost. So if you plan on carrying bricks, put a piece of half-inch plywood down there first to keep the bottom from bulging out. A WORD :: Whilst dragging the TOOCAN GRASSY through your urban bikescape, please keep in mind that natural fibers are typically not as strong or abrasion-resistant as man-made fibers like nylon. The grass panels will show signs of wear before the polyester fabric side panels. That's normal. With time, the grass will take on a patina that will make the bag uniquely yours.
