Review: Ortlieb D-Fender

Messenger bags are de rigueur in the bike lane, but they can be hell on your neck and shoulders. Ortlieb's touring knapsack totes your load in comfort, with superior weight distribution and foam pads that channel airflow across your back. The rubberized shell has a water-resistant zipper that faces your body for rain protection — smart, but a pain to access on the fly.
