Bicycle backpacks from Gusti: versatile, durable and multifunctional
Backpacks are ideal for cycling because, unlike shoulder bags, messenger bags, etc., they can't simply slide forward between the legs and become a hazard to the cyclist. The optimal cycling backpack has a capacity of between 15 and 20 liters , equivalent to the ever-popular daypack .
Unlike conventional Gusti leather backpacks, our Gusti leather backpacks feature special features and gimmicks specifically designed for cyclists. Some models have additional adapters built into the backpack, allowing the backpack to be used as a handlebar bag or pannier bag . Others, on the other hand, have reflective surfaces deliberately integrated into the design of the backpack to ensure optimal visibility for cyclists during the darker months.
Our bike backpacks are also distinguished by their durability, impressing not only with their individual design but also with their everyday practicality and their visual and functional versatility . From sporty and casual to classic and elegant to romantic and playful and straightforward and modern, from leather backpacks with a vintage feel to models that are right on the cutting edge.
Goat leather, cow leather or buffalo leather – which leather best meets your expectations?
Our range includes bike backpacks made from three different types of leather. You can choose between:
- goatskin,
- Cowhide and
- Buffalo leather.
Goatskin bike backpacks are generally a bit stiffer at first, but quickly become very supple and soft with regular use. Models made of cowhide and buffalo leather, on the other hand, are somewhat more robust than those made of goatskin due to their inherently stronger material. Even after some time, these leathers still feel a bit firmer in structure, although they will naturally soften as well. So decide for yourself which leather best meets your needs for your new bike backpack.
Transparently produced – by Gusti Leder for you
Our product lines, to which these products belong, are as diverse as our range. The products in the "Gusti Leder nature" line, for example, are entirely committed to sustainability. This line includes only those Gusti Leder products that are traditionally handcrafted from vegetable-tanned goatskin in small family businesses in India. Individuality and uniqueness are therefore not just empty phrases here; each individual product is truly unique.
Meanwhile, products from the "Gusti Leder studio" line impress with their functionality combined with a timeless, urban style that's right on trend. The leather for this line is chemically tanned with chrome in certified factories in India, making it particularly durable and dimensionally stable.
Gusti Leder works exclusively with factories in India and Italy that operate according to international labor and human rights standards . To ensure the consistently high quality of our leather products, we regularly commission sample tests from independent laboratories and conduct unannounced visits to the workplaces to verify compliance with contractually defined production and labor standards. In the event of violations of these standards, we act in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy and immediately terminate our cooperation with the affected factories.
