What makes the material and construction practical outdoors?

How comfortable is it for longer use or cycling commutes?

Even though it’s compact, the sunhiker pack includes ergonomic touches to lower fatigue: breathable mesh on the back and shoulder straps and adjustable chest and waist straps to stabilize load. These features keep the pack close to your body so it moves less during cycling or brisk hiking.
