New commuter rucksack: Tatonka Commuter Rolltop WP - It looks well thought out!

The waterproof Commuter Rolltop WP from Tatonka reliably protects laptops and documents from rain and moisture - thanks to taped seams and the practical roll-top fastener. The back padding is on the outside of the rucksack to ensure that it remains waterproof. The two models weigh 1.2 kg and 1.28 kg respectively.

The rucksack is aimed at bike commuters who want to transport their equipment dry in all weathers. It is available in two sizes: 25 litres and 30 litres. It is made from robust 420D nylon TPU (100 % polyamide), and the waterproofing is completely PFC and PFAS-free, making it environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Waterproof construction and comfortable carrying system

Taped seams and the roll-top closure reliably keep water out, while the back padding is velcroed on the outside to prevent holes in the waterproof area. The Vent Comfort carrying system offers ergonomically shaped, padded shoulder straps, a height-adjustable chest strap and a removable waist belt to keep the pack close to the body. Load control straps allow additional adjustments and a carrying handle makes handling easier.

Interior and laptop compartment

The main compartment contains a padded laptop sleeve for devices up to 15.4 inches, which can be removed if required. This protects laptops from impacts. On the outside, welded laser-cut elements on the sides provide flexible fastening options with elasticated straps.

Differences between the models

The 25-litre model has a front compartment with a waterproof zip. The 30-litre backpack has a flat front compartment with laser-cut cut-outs instead, including a reversible sheet in reflective and neon colours. The larger model also has an additional multifunctional panel on the front. Both versions are equipped with reflective stripes on the front and on the shoulder straps - for better visibility in traffic.

Colours and availability

Both models are available in Black and Stone-Grey-Olive. The Commuter Rolltop 25 WP weighs 1.2 kg, the 30-litre model 1.28 kg.
