Mission Workshop Rhake Backpack Review
"Burly. Organized."
At first glance it looked weird. Then I used it for a couple days. Good god does this bag do it all well. Seriously, so much organization, so well built.
- Weatherproof
- Excellent materials
- Tons of external organization
- Great straps and back panel
- Waterproof internal liner can bunch up when pulling things out of the bag
- Large bag, yet the inner capacity can feel tight and cumbersome

What I like
- Weird looking at first. After a couple days of using it, it does it all well.
- Weatherproof roll-top build made for riding your bike in a downpour. Water-sealed liner inside.
- Tons of pockets, and most of them are reachable from the outside, so I rarely had to roll it open.
- Utterly comfortable. The straps and back panel hug you, and the slim profile stays close to your back.
- Carries like a slim bag, but expands to fit a lot.
- Burly, bike-messenger build. Heavier duty than a lot of outdoor gear.
Watch for
- Going in through the roll-top is a hassle if you're in the main compartment all the time.
- Not big enough for travel for me.
- Can feel kind of heavy.
- The waterproof liner can bunch up, and the inside can feel tight and cumbersome for its size.
