Brilliant backpacks from Chome Industries
Ideal for travel, commuting and everyday use, all packs in the Ruckas collection have been designed with a wide opening, sporting a 3/4 length main zipper that allows you to access your gear from the front, top or sides. Offering incredible convenience and versatility over traditional top loaders, this innovative design works like a suitcase, allowing you to open up your bag flat and see everything inside, making organising and accessing your kit a breeze.
Light not only on weight, but also on the planet, all products in the Ruckas Collection are PFC free and have been consciously constructed with 300 Denier recycled poly Dobby scratch resistant outer shells, hardwearing 900 Denier recycled base panels and recycled poly liners. All packs feature a handy webbed hanging/grab loop to the top and wide, adjustable straps to allow for all day carrying comfort and great weight distribution when loaded. The ergonomically designed harness and back panel have been constructed with Blue sign approved recycled foam for comfort, with an air mesh panel providing ventilation to keep you comfy and cool in all conditions.
The Ruckas Small (14 litre, £90) and Large editions (23l capacity, £110) also feature integrated, padded laptop sleeves, designed to carry a MacBook Pro 13 & 15” respectively, with handy side stretch pocket on both inside and outer that allows you to stow and easily access a waterbottle or item of clothing. With distinctive colour contrast Amber gold pull toggles and lining, inside you’ll find multiple pockets for organising your cargo. The Ruckas Large is also equipped with a single zippered pocket on the inside of the front panel, and additional internal side pouch pockets ideal for easy access to phone, cards, keys and other essentials when you are on the move.
The lightweight Ruckas Sling (£70) is ideal for travel and everyday use, offering an 8 litre capacity and equipped with integrate, padded ipad sleeve. Built with versatility in mind, this neat sling features a quick release buckle and can be worn over either shoulder or cross body, making it ideal for use on a bike or during active sports.
Completing the collection, the Ruckas Accessory Pouch (£35) is all about keeping your pockets empty and your essentials close. Wear it cross body, on shoulder, or loop it through your belt, this neat little piece allows you to stow the daily essentials and get set for the day whatever it holds.
Featuring Chrome’s signature sharp styling and benchmark performance and durability, all models in the collection feature a distinctive Chrome logo patch crafted from brandished, reclaimed leather. Choose from three hues: Oil Green, understated Natural Stone or Classic Black.
We bagged ourselves a green Rukas backpack and it’s just brilliant. This sturdy thing is the perfect organiser for our backpack, waterbottle, coffee mug, wallet, phone, notebook…we even squeeze our gym kit into it!
This is a practical urban daypack built with fast, fuss-free access in mind. It comes in compact 14-litre or larger 23-litre sizes – both with padded laptop sleeves. And with either version, you can easily reach your gear through the side or the top with its extended main zipper. Meanwhile, travelcards, phones and other bits can be handily stowed in the zippered front pocket. In short, if you need a no-fuss backpack for day-to-day life, as Wu-Tang once said, it’s time to bring da ruckus.
