Cyclists and roll-top backpacks go together like rain and roadworks, and the Metron WP 25 from Osprey is specially designed for the regular bike commuter. Made in fully waterproof double-laminated TPU nylon, the top features a secure magnetic closure as well as the standard roll-and-hook system. Inside, there's a removable padded laptop sleeve with a zipped stretch mesh compartment, and you've also got a water-resistant zip pocket on the front for quick-access bits and bobs. Roll-tops can often be a bit basic in the backpanel department, but not this one – it uses the same comfortable Airscape system as many of Osprey's other packs, with mesh-covered ridged foam over an Atilon foam framesheet. Teamed with the padded harness, removable webbing hipbelt and adjustable sternum strap, it all adds up to a comfortable, dependable companion for the dedicated two-wheeler.

The Osprey story started in California in the 1970s, with one man, a sewing machine and a vision to make the world’s best outdoor packs. Today, it’s one of the most recognisable rucksack brands.
All of Osprey's packs share the same twin hallmarks of fit and comfort. In fact, Osprey was an early adopter of breathable mesh, ergonomic hip-belts and packs designed specifically to fit women. Breathable back panels are still a feature of all their packs, and all except their most lightweight bags come with adjustable back-lengths for a perfect fit.
And in a world where outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly conscious of our environmental impact, many Osprey packs are made from durable recycled fabrics, while all feature PFC-free water-repellent coatings.
