While bicycle couriers and retired raft guides-gone-corporate might very well have been the original market SealLine had in mind when it designed its Urban Tote, anyone who spends any time in the elements stands to benefit from this city-savvy waterproof backpack. Made with PVC-free 300D PU-coated polyester and scrim-reinforced urethane, the durable and eco-friendly bag has a dual-purpose strap that either slings over your shoulders and wears as a backpack or tags along as a tote. The convertible roll-top closure provides watertight protection when it’s cinched up, or tucks into the interior for open-top use. Those feeling the need to accessorize will appreciate SealLine’s Modular Accessory Pocket (MAP) system, making it easy to attach separately sold frills like a Zip Pocket or Electronic Case for cellphones and iPods. Available in 1,000-cubic-inch (MSRP: $59.95) and 2,000-cubic-inch size (MSRP: $69.95), the bags come in a choice of five element-repelling colors that are equally at home in LoDo and Gates of Lodore on the Green River.
