USE :: shopping, commuting, shopping, stylin'
VOL :: 1600 in3/26 L
DIM :: approx. 15x13x7 in
WT :: 32 oz/900 gr
COLORS :: never the same
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. WORD :: Whilst dragging the TOOCAN JUICY WV through your urban bikescape, please keep in mind that the recycled PET juice pouches are typically not as strong or abrasion-resistant as man-made fibers like nylon. They will puncture easily, and once punctured they will tear along the puncture. So keep the JUICY WV away from pointy objects and it will give you years of service. When it's time to retire it, all the materials of the JUICY WV can be recycled. DOUBLE WORD :: The recycled juice pouches come in a mind-boggling variety of shapes and colors. No two bags will be alike. We cannot offer matching bags in this recycled material. It's part of their charm.
