Uberkuhl bi-component weave allows the cotton to `push and pull` moisture to the nylon for quick evaporation. The result is a lightweight, ergonomicly designed pant that wicks persperation and will dry quickly. Perfect for travel.[/caption]

Inside, a padded computer sleeve cradles a 17-inch or smaller laptop safely off the ground. The main compartment features a drop pocket that secures with a hook-and-loop tab, a mesh pocket, a padded electronics pocket, pen sleeves and a secure zippered pocket. The cover flap overlaps the sides of the bag to block rain; its pocket closes with a water-resistant zipper. The external side pocket stows a cell phone, power cords or water bottle. The bag`s no-slip shoulder strap is fully adjustable, and the waist strap stows away. With a topside carrying handle, a reflective panel for visibility at night and a bike-light mount.[/caption]
