Truce Bags

Fashioned from reclaimed and high-performance materials, Truce Designs are the newest addition to the onTheRivet backpack family.  

Materials such as sailcloth, drysuit fabric, and ballistic weaves are assembled with high-performance hardware in their shop in Portland, OR to create unique bags for a personalized sense of style for any conditions. 

Weatherproof and sleek, the backpacks come with many bike friendly features. Three sizes allow a person to choose how much or how little they want to bring along for the ride, whether it's a day trip through the city, a week-long trip down south or to the Island or an overnighter up to Whistler.

A free-floating waterproof fabric liner makes sure your stuff stays dry, extra pockets throughout the bag ensure you stuff never disappears into the main compartment chaos, and compression straps to maximize sleekness for shoulder checking on the bike as well as wanting to strap things to the outside. Inside the back of the bag is a separate compartment for a hydration bladder. 3M reflective tape runs along the bottom of the bags for visibility at night as well as webbing built in for bike lights. Each bag comes with a simple hip-strap but a beefier version can be obtained as well.

Coloured panels add a bit of fun to the bags and give you a way to show off your personality.

Cilogear's Dee-clip compression strap system is a simple and straightforward way to strap things onto the bag or strap things down within the bag. When not in use, they can be stored in one of the pockets of the bags.

... and done! 

Colours vary and depend on what materials are in stock. Pricing is dependent on sizing and materials used. We've already got some bags in the shop so come check 'em out before they disappear!

Sahn Helmets

Well, well, looks like we've got some sweet new style-y helmets in just in time for winter! We're happy to welcome SAHN Helmets to the onTheRivet Family!

Sahn Helmets are the brainchild of Vancouver-based Matt Kelly and Sen-Huy Tan. Kelly has been creating helmets for skateboarding and water sports as owner of Predator Designs. Tan is an industrial designer with cycling industry experience.

Together, they share a vision to provide helmet alternatives for the style-conscious rider. In their own words, "SAHN Helmets is about riding. Not racing. The SAHN Classic is a helmet for those who may or may not define themselves as cyclists, but desire to have the option to look better while moving in and around the urban landscape, both on and off the bicycle."

These brimmed classic-looking helmets are made with cycling-specific features and are certified for cycling use. They come with removable comfort fit pads in different thicknesses that are placed strategically within the helmet to allow for air flow, as well as a Swiss-made rear adjuster dial for additional custom fit. They're made from a lightweight but tough outer ABS plastic bonded to a shock absorbing expanded polystyrene inner layer.

Functional as well as fashionable, SAHN helmets are available in both matte and glossy styles in black, white, blue, and tan. A low profile, sleek equestrian-inspired design makes them look good on both men and women. 

 A built-in brim makes the helmet great for keeping rain and sun out of your eyes as you pedal along. 

SAHN has also collaborated with internationally-recognized artist Chairman Ting Industries to bring a Limited Edition design featuring a custom graphic on a matte grey coloured helmet. Fellow Vancouverite Carson (Chairman) Ting is an avid cyclist and named one of the top 5 most creative people in Canada by Marketing Magazine. 

Currently, the helmets are available in S/M sizing (53-59 cm) with a L/XL option (60-64 cm) available Spring 2013. They retail for $130.
