Perfect bag for out and about

I couldn’t be happier with this bag. Lightweight, excellent addition of the inside pocket and love the colour!

Just the job

Great quality and very practical. Thanks.

Nice bag!

Love it, although I have a few ideas to improve it.

- Having a rubber band to clip the loose end of the strap onto the strap so it doesnt just fly in the air would make it much more nice looking imo.
- Also, I would make the internal pocket larger (or maybe layer two of them on top of each other, one larger lets say a5-sized and the current one phone-sized on top of it) and adding a way to close/zip them.
- What Freitag does really well is adding a side clip that branches off the main strap to hold the bag in place over your lower back when you're biking, and you can clip it off once you don't need it anymore.

absolutely love the bag, it’s so roomy and versatile and the material is great.
one thing, I don’t love the piece of hardware that attaches the strap to the bag—it isn’t fully closed which allows you to unclip the strap easily so you can take the bag off without pulling it over your head. but the strap slipped out of its clip and came undone while i was cycling the other day which seems like a problem!

Perfect mix of style and functionality

The quality of the materials is evident.
Satisfied and would recommend this bag.

Reproofable

This product can be reproofed using a suitable spray in order to make the product water resistant again and ensure it's longevity. We reccomend doing this every few months or after any particularly heavy downpours.

Water Resistant

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material.

FAQs

Waxed cotton is the original performance fabric and involves treating cotton with a wax coating for water repellency. Waxes and oils are naturally occurring substances found in leaves, bean/seed coverings, animal furs and feathers. It is nature's protection against the elements.
Waxed garments can be reproofed regularly, making them exceptionally sustainable compared to synthetic fabrics that often end up in landfills. Unlike PFC chemistry, which provides hydrophobic effects synthetically, waxes offer a natural barrier, reducing environmental impact.
The wax application processes are low-impact, minimizing environmental harm compared to conventional manufacturing methods. The waxes are fully biodegradable and PFC-free, underlining our commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Water-resistant and waterproof are terms used to describe how well a material or product can resist water. The main difference between the two is the level of protection they offer against water.

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material and damage the contents of the item.

Waterproof, on the other hand, means that the material or product is entirely impervious to water and will not allow any water to penetrate. It is designed to withstand heavy rain, submersion in water, or other harsh weather conditions without allowing any water to seep through.
