Chrome is a brand that first cut it teeth in the professional bicycle and motorcycle messengering ranks and have snowballed into a juggernaut of a pack and softgoods brand. This here 14x21x6-inch Yalta pack comes in at a reasonable 3 1/2 pounds, with the volume of this pack being a healthy 29 liters.I have been riding this backpack for a bit of time now and love the way it feels. The extra lengths of the shoulder straps and chest stabilizer do flap around a bit too much at high speeds, but I just took a few rubber bands out of my beard and tied them up. This is an industrial pack and the $120 price dictates that. If you want something cheap, toddle off to Target and buy yourself a Jansport pack monthly because it’s going to fall apart. If you want something that will last you a lifetime, buy this pack.
The Yalta features a weatherproof 1,000 denier Tarpaulin outer shell for maximum water resistance, Stainless steel hook rolltop closure with floating bucket liner to keep everything clean and dry, a laptop compartment, front zippered pockets, ergonomic EVA foam back panel with air mesh shoulder straps, industrial-strength metal cam lock under arm compression buckles, and cross-chest load stabilizer
