Inspired from everyday life, one of our team members started commuting to work on a fixed gear bike, we took inspiration from messenger bags used by cyclists and set out to design a soft structured bag that could fold down or expand as needed. This became a signature style in Wotancraft’s everyday carry lineup.
Originally created for bike commuters, the Rider has gradually evolved through years of feedback and real world use. Today, it is a truly versatile everyday bag that works for commuting, cycling, and photography.
Now, more than a decade later, we have reimagined the Rider for a new generation. The V2 version features an updated three point harness system, refined internal structure, and lightweight improvements, all designed to make it even more functional and practical for daily life.
Whether it’s for daily commuting, cycling, shooting photos, or on a spontaneous adventure, the Rider Series V2 has you covered. The combination of practical functionality and a sleek design makes your trip effortless.

The “Soft-Shell” structure design allows the bag to expand and contract freely. When more storage room is needed, simply release the Fidlock Buckle or loosen the webbing on the front to expand the bag.
The bag stays securely positioned on your back, preventing it from sliding to your side or chest while riding, keeing you safe and sound. The V2 version features an adjustable canvas strap and buckle fastenings, making it easier to operate.
