I like a nice handbag like the next lady, but cycling, snowboarding, attempting to skate (badly), surf trips or carrying gym kit means I need more than a dainty shoulder strap. Thanks to Gravis, my small-child-sized, macho rucksack can be recycled: the Hood and Hubble combine cute details and practicality in low profile package - perfect for crashing at friends' this Christmas.
Peppered with polka dots thanks to the CYMK design the Hood has a padded laptop compartment, hidden rain fly, front zipper stash pocket, can hold 17 litres and has the dimensions 47x36x10cm. It's also down from $60 to $36 in the online Burton store and is RRP £35 in the UK.
Shown in the the Stuntman colourway, the Hubble has durable hide away skate straps, a front stash pocket (wonder what you'll use that for?) a volume of 11 litres and is 31x36x10cm. It's also been reduced from $50 to $30 at the official Burton store and is RRP £40 in the UK.
In the US buy from: burton.store.com
In the UK try: Chemical Records or Ride Low
