The Mighty Roll Top Backpack

When it comes to choosing the best backpack for city living and weekend escapes, few designs match the versatility and style of the roll top bag. Whether you are cycling through the city, hopping on a train for a weekend away, or simply heading to the office, a roll top backpack offers a unique blend of function, comfort and outdoor durability.

What is a roll top backpack?
A roll top backpack is defined by its flexible opening which rolls down and clips into place. This creates a streamlined, minimalist shape that adjusts to the size of your load. Unlike traditional zip closures, the roll top system allows for better compression, making it ideal for both light days and fully packed adventures.

Waterproof by design
One of the biggest advantages of a roll top bag is its natural resistance to the elements. The rolled closure creates a tight seal that helps keep water out, making it one of the best waterproof backpacks for commuters, cyclists and walkers who face unpredictable British weather. Our roll top backpacks are made from water resistant fabrics that protect your gear without sacrificing style.

Flexible storage for life on the go
For commuters who value practicality, roll top backpacks offer adaptable storage. The expandable main compartment can easily handle everything from your lunch and gym kit to a laptop and change of clothes. Internal pockets help keep things organised, while external loops and clips make it easy to attach extra gear for longer trips.

Style meets substance
Roll top bags are increasingly popular with those who want a smart, functional backpack that fits seamlessly into both city life and outdoor pursuits. The clean lines and pared back design give them a timeless look that pairs well with any outfit, from tailored coats to technical jackets.

Perfect for city to countryside living
For people who love living in the city but escape to nature at the weekend, a roll top backpack offers the best of both worlds. Lightweight, durable and waterproof, it is designed to handle urban commutes as well as countryside rambles.

Whether you are heading to work, exploring the outdoors, or packing light for a weekend getaway, the roll top backpack is a reliable companion that adapts to your lifestyle.
