Gear Checks: Unit Anarchy Backpack

Here at Freerider MX HQ, we get to test all the latest products that appear on the market, but we were more than a little excited about getting Unit’s Anarchy Backpack. Why? Well, we were privy to how much time, effort, money and research went into making it – the Unit boys wanted this to be the ultimate backpack, and went all out with it. We’ve been using it for about four months and this is what we’ve found.

THUMBS UP:
Compartments: Seriously, there’re so many pockets and compartments in this bag it almost feels like we find something new every time we use it! The iPod pocket has a soft lining to provide a bit of extra protection, and the laptop pocket features an elastic strap to hold your computer securely in place.
Durability: We’ve been using the Anarchy pack daily for several months, and haven’t had any issues with its durability. All the stitching has stayed secure, and it still looks as new as the day we pulled it from its wrapper.
Comfort: The padded back and shoulders mean you can sometimes forget you’ve even got the pack on your back!

THUMBS DOWN
Zippers: It’s no biggie, but sometimes the zipper tabs get stuck on a weird angle in the hoop, and you have to jiggle it around for a second or so to free it up.

IN A NUTSHELL
A great, versatile backpack that has so many pockets you almost run the risk of losing stuff. It’s well thought-out, and its durability will ensure we keep running this thing for a long time to come.
