Each design focuses on simplicity for practicality and versatility. For durability purposes Chrome Industries stitches its performance bags silhouettes with a 1680 denier ballistic nylon. The MXD Fathom Backpack, for example, is an ultralight option for the [daily bike commute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflected-bag) to work, the dedicated freelancer or for travel.
