It was suggested that I add my review here. It's been a long time since I've seen a post here that I forgot about this stickie.
First a bit of background. I had my 2013 Brompton S6L-X for 2 years now. I've used the Brompton cover a few times in
places that I felt carrying a folding bike in may get me turned away; museums, restaurants, hotels, etc. When I travel on a
plane; I use cardboard boxes. So that's why I've decided to try the S and S travel Backpack; plus I used my store credit to buy
it.
Paid US$250; came in a few days after shop(Piermont Bikes, NY) ordered it. Pretty comfortable with my 10 kg. bike inside.
Unpadded; comes with
some plastic shields(4 pieces) that go around the perimeter(top, bottom, left & right sides). Backside and front side, no protection.
There are pockets on both front and back where one could put clothes in and this would act as some sort of protection/padding:
