The Fly Commute Pack

Origins

Our Story

Based in Toronto, Canada, Bug Eye Original started with an idea of how to carry clothes in a backpack. After years of biking to work, I was tired of wrinkled clothes at the bottom of my pack.  The Fly Commute Pack was hatched to address these issues.  Easy pack up. Easy change. Pressed clothes. Our core commitment is to quality, and functional design.  Live free and cycle my friends!

The Process

We worked with a great pack designer for prototyping in Ostrom Outdoors, who specialized in rugged backcountry camping packs. This ensured a quality build and great ergonomics in the pack. The materials are all high quality nylons, (500D exterior, 200D interior), and YKK zippers, with the exterior zippers being waterproof.

The Process

Multiple sketches and detailed drawings got the sewing details organized.

The Process

Extensive Testing brought us to the final design

The Process

High visibility pull tabs, 1" reticulating foam on the back, and high capacity straps complete the design after numerous road tests
