2013 Brooks Pickwick Backpack

We’re total bag nerds here. Our Brooks representatives know it, and stopped by recently with something special for us. Now on display is a preview model of the new Brooks Pickwick for 2013. The Pickwick is designed as a day bag: not too big, not too small – perfect for commuters, students, and others who do not need a huge messenger-style backpack.

The Pickwick is made to Brook’s quality out of English leather, water resistant waxed canvas, and parachute straps – and they’re made in Italy. For extra security against poor weather, the bag uses a rolltop enclosure. The main compartment is large and has smaller inside organizing pouches. That’s not all, though. Brooks added two extra-sneaky quick access pockets:

And a zippered pocket on the bottom for mini u-locks, such as an Abus Futura Mini pictured above –
