Minimalist Urban Backpacks

The 'Soulo' Daypack Features a Magnetic Lid Closure & Ergonomic Straps

— April 20, 2023 — Fashion
German bag and backpack company Ortlieb has gone ahead and launched the 'Soulo,' a stylish and minimalist urban backpack that offers an elegant appearance as well as thoughtful design.

The 'Soulo' urban backpack has a number of desirable features that include a magnetically locking lid that allows you to quickly and easily delve into the cavernous 25-liter space that the backpack provides, while ensuring that your belongings stay in place and away from prying eyes. Elsewhere, the 'Soulo' backpack is equipped with ergonomic shoulder straps that enable you to take your backpack over long distances, while ventilation channels in the back padding allow for consummate comfort.

Available in a trio of elegant colors, this urban backpack can be purchased for a price of $220.
