SS25 sees Chrome Industries announce its best-known and best-selling sling – the Kadet – available in a new, 100% waterproof, version.

Maintaining the design’s classic black exterior finish, watertight zippers, and matt black hardware – as found on the regular Kadet slings – the new WP collection is “constructed with fully welded seams, delivering a lightweight and 100% waterproof update”, ready to carry and deliver whatever the elements have in store.

Kadet: Three sizes. One unique look

Available in three sizes – Kadet Max 16-litre (£160), Kadet WP 8-litre (£120), and Mini Kadet WP 5-litre (£90) – the WP range is “designed and built to withstand the rigours of city life, where a sleek design and robust construction make it an ideal companion for cyclists, skaters, commuters and anyone on the move”.

Kadet Max is the go-large in-the-city option, with a 16-litre capacity, featuring interior organisation and a padded laptop sleeve designed to carry tablets and laptops up to 15”.

Kadet Max also sports a padded rear u-lock holster, reversible, padded shoulder strap for convenient left or right carry, and a 3-part plastic quick-release buckle that allows for easy on and off on the move.
