Developed by the giant Dupont already during the Second World War, it proved ineffective, in fact, against the bullets. And, since I don’t like to omit anything, raiding Wikipedia I discovered that it’s called ballistic nylon: whew!īut do not let us be misled, it is not a bulletproof fabric, let’s not exaggerate. Saying anti-abrasion nylon it’s not enough I added an acronym but without giving you a (quick) explanation, I don’t do a good job. Let’s start with the outer fabric in 1050d anti-abrasion nylon. I abandon the images borrowed from the Chrome Industries website and move to the photos taken by myself. Well, after all these premises and presentations, we can go to know the bag in its details. And, I announce it but we will see it better in the road test, its correct shape and its correct mounting system make sure that the bag doesn’t move from your back and its weight is well discharged, without unbalancing. From the university to work, from the gym to the groceries shopping, you can really put everything inside it. With a minimum upper size, it gains volume and versatility that make it suitable to exit from the specialized use and to become a daily companion. I chose the Citizen, however, because I consider it the most interesting version for a greater number of cyclists. I add a personal note I was undecided whether to ask for the Citizen or the Mini Metro, the latter closest to my personal needs. If somebody will happen to read this review in a year, maybe could find the information not updated. Information that is always convenient to receive however, given the succession of news in the Chrome company, it’s better to take a look at the official website first. Thew Metropolis is vitaminized: 11,5”x26”x7” with a volume of 40 liters. The Citizen can comfortably accomodate a 17” notebook, the Mini Metro must resort to the 15” one. So for now in the catalog in the official website we have the citizen, subject of today’s review, and the more compact Mini Metro, which shrinks to 20x12x7 inches, obtaining an internal volume of 20,5 liters. I specify the European market because while I am writing, the Metropolis, which is the largest bag in the range, is provided only for us inhabitants of the Old Continent. Yes, Chrome declines its messenger bags in three different sizes for the European market.
These number are interesting to know, but that alone do not explain this messenger but they make us understand we are in the presence of the medium version. The internal volume was calculated in 26 liters all with a total weight of 1210 grams detected by me. As it’s a floppy bag, we cannot determine its measurements with absolute precision. Converting them in centimeters we have respectively 56x33x18 cm., rounding it. The dimension expressed in inches are: 22” in width, 13” in height and 7” in depth.
