The Ara Backpack by Po Campo is designed for personal electric vehicle riders who seek a stylish yet functional commuting or joy riding bag. Po Campo developed the Ara line with the micromobility community in mind, offering a sustainable and highly reflective City Lights Collection. The Ara Backpack provides ample storage, weighing 2 pounds and offering 20 liters of space, ideal for camera gear and essentials.
It features a spacious main compartment and 13 pockets, making it perfect for the user’s needs. The two magnetic Fidlock snaps provide easy access to the main compartment, though occasionally aligning them while riding can be cumbersome. The helmet harness simplifies carrying a helmet without it swinging behind when walking, although it’s not suitable for full-face helmets.
The Ara Backpack balances minimalism, safety, sustainability, and style, using the world’s first reflective hemp fabric for both aesthetic and safety purposes. By day, the bag offers a sleek, minimalistic appearance with hidden closures, while the reflective fibers woven into the hemp enhance visibility at night.
In summary, the Po Campo Ara Backpack offers a stylish, functional, and sustainable option for micromobility enthusiasts seeking a blend of utility and aesthetics. It excels in providing ample storage and comfort while enhancing safety with its reflective hemp material. However, it may be considered relatively pricey compared to alternatives, and aligning the magnetic snaps on the move can be tricky. Nonetheless, it serves as a suitable bag for personal electric vehicle riders.
