Pawn Backpack

The Chrome Ivan Messenger Bag's little brother, the Pawn, is loaded with all the same features as its older brother, but in a slightly smaller size. Like the Ivan, the Pawn's stylish retro look is actually more function than fashion, with military rucksack styling and weatherproof, expandable rolltop closure. Also like the Ivan, the Pawn offers plenty of organization to keep you moving quickly. When deciding between the two, the real question comes down to whether you're more of a 12-pack or an 18-pack kind of guy.

The most striking thing about the Pawn is its retro look. That's not just a style thing, however. The rolltop is both waterproof and expandable. Inside, the Pawn has two waterproof compartments that allow you to keep wet clothes away from your dry clothes, laptop, papers, and everything else. The zippered laptop compartment accommodates models  up to 17 inches. The Pawn's back pockets allow easy access to essentials and help with organization, and the metal buckles are tough enough to last for years of hard living. External daisy chain loops make hanging your lock or bike lights quick and easy.

Speaking of tough, the Pawn is made with materials that would make a military man proud. The weatherproof,  1000-denier Cordura outer layer is backed by an 1800 denier military truck-grade tarpaulin liner with bar welded seams. The shoulder straps are industrial strength as well.

The Pawn comes with a comfortable back panel and shoulder strap design that allows you to carry heavy loads for long distances without soreness. The EVA foam back panel keeps the load away from your back and allows your skin to breathe and move moisture away. The adjustable shoulder straps let you carry the Pawn exactly where you want, depending on the size and weight of your load. Chrome also included an adjustable sternum strap for added security and support.

The Crome Pawn Messenger Bag is 18in wide, 20.5in high, and 5.5in deep.  It's available in Grey, Olive, and Black.
