Waterproof  Liners

Welded rather than sewn seams are the only way to make 100% waterproof

backpacks.We WELD the seams of 210D nylon airline life vest fabric to create waterproof liners for our packs and panniers.

.These  liners are then sewn into our packs using the welded tabs.

By using waterproof liners on the inside, we can give you more cycling specific features for your pack on the outside, like blinker mounts,pockets, pocket attachment points, compression straps and u-lock holsters. These liners also contain large welded velcro panels to attach padded laptop

We at Velotransit design our waterproof backpacks and panniers with direct feedback from our customers . We read every email from fellow commuters and take every suggestion on the phone seriously. Once we compile and analyze this feedback we make sure all of the needs of our customers are addressed in designing the new backpacks and upgrading our existing packs and panniers. We use Autocad to ensure an exact fit. Multiple prototypes are then made and Urban tested until we are happy with every detail of our Made in Seattle  gear.

 

Cutting

Once a backpack is finalized, a marker  is created and multiple layers of fabric are cut with a stack cutter. These cut pieces are bundled with webbing and buckles, delivered to home sewers and sewn into the individual parts.

Sewing

The parts from the home sewers are picked up and go through a QC  procedure at our Seattle workshop ensuring that each piece meets our strict standards. Our In-House sewers take these parts and sew them into complete backpacks for each order, proudly attach the Made in America label and individually initial the serial # which is registered in our Lifetime warranty system.

Assembly

Lastly we insert the EV 50 foam back pad and HDPE frame sheet, attach the waist belt, perform the final Quality control and put the final initials on the serial #.  Small controlled production runs like this guarantee you get the highest quality pack to protect your laptop and  gear.
