Commuters can use them together or separately as a stand-alone backpack.
Sydney mates and cyclists Jeremy Grey and Jon Gourlay initially designed the backpacks for cyclists, but realised it was suitable for motorcyclists as well.
Henty founders Jon and JeremyWe featured their Wingman backpack in May 2015 which we also found to be very useful for motorcycle commuters.
