Our Verdict
The Gossamer Gear Piku Sling is a 9-litre bag weighing 244g, built with Riptide 100D recycled ripstop and UHMWPE stretch mesh. The material choice makes it both light and impressively robust, and the finish feels refined for everyday use. The roll-top closure with magnets is smooth in operation and eliminates the bulk of buckles, while the front stretch pocket and internal dividers help keep essentials organised.
The removable straps are handy, as they allow the bag to shift easily from cross-body wear to a waist pack or bike handlebar bag without fuss. The removable Little Sit Pad offers extra padding and serves as a convenient sit pad. The capacity is well-suited for snacks, layers, a phone, etc. On rough downhill cycling, a stabilising strap would improve control, but for walking, commuting and lighter riding, it performs comfortably and remains versatile.
