With winter setting in across the northern regions of the world, many clothing brands are currently promoting their latest and greatest cold weather gear. However San Francisco’s Timbuk2 is already looking ahead to springtime, when they’ll be adding a host of new and updated items to their vast lineup of cycling bags and accessories.
Timbuk2 has just announced two whole new collections, a special edition heritage line and some new additions to their TBH urban collection. If you’re thinking a new pack would be nice for next year, read on for a sneak preview of selected items from the brand’s new designs, fabrics and color palettes…
