As a gear enthusiast, there's a good chance you've ran into the all too familiar dilemma of wanting to carry too much gear. It's tempting to overpack for your daily commute, and even moreso when traveling. But while some EDCers follow the mantra of “two is one and one is none,” the reality is that sometimes you don't need a backup for everything. Whether you've already got a dialed-in, minimalist carry or want to pare down to just the essentials for your daily commute, the Chrome MXD Fathom just might do the trick. It offers a slim and light platform with a lean pocket layout to help you bring along only what you need, and nothing you don't.

To withstand the wear and tear of your commute, the Chrome MXD Fathom Backpack features a heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant 1680 ballistic nylon build. It keeps organization simple with three major compartments for your gear. The main compartment can accommodate tablets or laptops up to 13”, while two large zip pockets on the front of the pack grant quicker access to the rest of your gear. The lightly padded left pocket offers some organization with a mesh pocket and key tether loop, while the right pocket is lined with plush cushioning, making it perfect for electronics, glasses and other things you want to avoid scratching.  The bag also has a hidden side pocket for small, slim things such as gloves, a card wallet, or even a portable hard drive.

For your other things that don't fit the main compartment or pockets, there is a D-ring attachment centrally mounted on the back. You can use this to hang a safety light while riding or your helmet for after you've arrived at your destination. The D-ring also serves as an attachment point for mounting other essentials like a light jacket or water bottle, to name a few. Loops on the shoulder straps provide more modular options as well, ideal for gear you want handy like your phone or keys.

While wearing it, the light padding on the MXD Fathom's back panel keeps you comfortable, and the height-adjustable chest strap stabilizes the load for a balanced ride. Last but not least, reflective strips on the shoulder pad loops improve visibility at night. For a low-profile pack that's fast and light, check out the MXD Fathom at the link below.
