Product Review: @19tooth Kanggoo

Just got my 19tooth Kanggoo since last week. It is actually a prototype, the officially launched products are coming with black Kanggoo badge and Reflector, while the prototype coming with brown badge.

Ok, here we go!

First impression, Awesome details that Brian have done on this one. As you’ve seen on my last post. He is really doing some research before the production process. And the product come out as good as expected.

Standard size for regular riding needs, it surely can’t fit your tee or towel. But, toolkits, spare inner tubes, wallet, and your packs of cigarettes or chocolate bar will fit in. Pretty wide though. Kanggoo got 3 pockets, as said before on their published specs. The gadget pockets works very well, fit for your mobile phone and or your ipod touch, with taller wall so it will give your gadgets extra protection while the main flap are closed. I’ve been goin’ with it during the rain pours, and it safe my gadgets from the rain. The pockets are just fit very well on me.

Next highlight is on the straps. Kinda not user-friendly at first, let me call it the multi-adjustable straps. It takes me some time to adjust them. But the material quality is seems just nice, it’s just being it should be. The straps length are also works good to make them as shoulder bag. No worries if you find it hard to set the straps to your desired size, easily put them off so you can attach Kanggoo to your belt. Simpler way that I prefer.

The U-Lock holster is also useful since it’s being the needs for every cyclists today.

Last one, is the front clear pocket. Even it is not equipped with zip or straps, it is just being an added value for the products, collect more stickers and put them all in, hipsters!

With all these features and quality versus the price tag. I could say this is a must grab.

Minggu lalu saya dapet kiriman dari Brian, owner 19tooth. Yang satu ini judulnya prototype, jadi sedikit beda dari yang barusan dirilis. Kalo yang sudah dirilis badgenya warna hitam dan udah dilengkapi reflector di bagian ujung saku depan. Sementara saya dapetnya dengan badge warna coklat dan tanpa reflector.

Kesan pertama, detilnya luar biasa. Lebih lengkapnya bisa dilihat di postingan saya sebelum ini.

Ukuran yang standar, sesuai dengan kebutuhan daily riding. Cukup untuk bawa ban dalam cadangan, toolkit, kunci 15, dompet, atau pak rokok. Lebar dan panjangnya menurut saya sangat pas. Selain itu, saku untuk gadgetnya juga cukup menarik, karena bagian belakangnya cukup tinggi, jadi saku gadget bakal dapet perlindungan ekstra kalo flapnya ditutup. Terbukti pas test ride pake Kanggoo, kebetulan pas hujan, handphone masih aman dan ga basah.

Highlight berikutnya di bagian strap. Agak kurang bersahabat waktu pertama ngeliat dan nyoba ngeset sesuai ukuran pinggang. Sedikit ribet, tapi begitu udah nemu ukurannya dijamin nyaman, karena material strapnya sendiri berkualitas IMO, sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan memang begitu seharusnya. Yang menarik disini ada 3 cara untuk ngeset strap, selain pake strap adjuster, bisa juga pake velcro. Kalo ngerasa pake strap bikin ribet, tinggal lepasin aja strapnya, masukin sabuk aja ke lubang strapnya, jadi lebih praktis. Dan itu yang jadi favorit saya.

U-Lock holster yang ada di bagian belakang juga berguna, buat naruh U-Lock pastinya. Jadi ga perlu ngabisin space saku yang di dalem.

Yang terakhir, bagian saku bening di bagian depan, meskipun ga ada retsleting atau velcro buat nutup rapet, tapi tetep menurut saya jadi daya tarik dari Kanggoo. Bisa buat naruh barang kecil kaya valve adapter biar aksesnya lebih gampang.

Dengan fitur dan kualitas yang ada di Kanggo, dibandingin sama harga yang udah dirilis. Ini hip pouch yang ga perlu mikir dua kali buat dibeli.
