Stream Roll Top Backpack L

Sandqvist developed the Stream series specifically for cyclists and commuters who refuse to compromise aesthetics for weather protection. The rolltop silhouette achieves waterproofing through construction rather than accessories, with TPU-coated recycled polyester forming a barrier against rain, puddle spray, and the general moisture assault of urban transit in variable climates. Sealed zippers eliminate the penetration points where lesser bags admit water, and the matte surface finish sheds droplets while resisting the scuffs and abrasions of daily contact with bike locks, transit poles, and crowded compartments.

At 34 liters, the capacity spans the range from minimal daily loadouts to more substantial hauls when circumstances require additional gear. The rolltop closure enables this flexibility, compressing to maintain a streamlined profile when contents are limited or expanding to accommodate bulk purchases, gym clothes, or overnight essentials. Rolling the top creates a seal that protects contents even during sustained exposure to precipitation.

The padded laptop sleeve within measures 27 by 40 centimeters, sized for 16-inch machines with protective cushioning along all surfaces. A secondary zip pocket separates smaller items from the main compartment. Externally, two side slip pockets provide quick access to water bottles or compact accessories, while a front zip pocket accommodates items needed without opening the main closure. Webbing loops position bike lights for visibility, and compression straps cinch or expand to stabilize loads or attach additional gear.

The back panel receives padding that channels airflow during active commutes, reducing heat buildup. Adjustable shoulder straps distribute weight comfortably across varying loads and torso lengths. All materials are vegan-friendly, and the surface wipes clean with minimal effort. Sandqvist positions the Stream as purpose-built equipment for those who navigate cities by bicycle and foot regardless of conditions.
