Chrome
Backpacks

Chrome is especially interesting when you need flexible outside carrying space. The Barrage 22L pairs a roll-top opening with an expandable cargo net and a welded floating tarp liner. That arrangement invites a different packing routine from a conventional zip-opening laptop bag: consider how often you will reach the main compartment and what you plan to secure outside. The current Barrage listing specifies an unpadded laptop sleeve, so a separate sleeve may be relevant for your computer. Chrome's own comparison calls Barrage weather-resistant and Urban Ex waterproof; the distinction is worth preserving when choosing between families. For the Barrage, the manufacturer specifies spot cleaning and drying in a well-ventilated area.
