A guitar backpack is carried on your back with two shoulder straps, so your hands stay free on the bike, on the train and on the way to your lesson. The GigPack is 112 cm long, fits guitars up to 106 cm (1/2 to 4/4) and comes with its own rain cover.
Will your guitar fit in the GigPack?
Measure your guitar and compare it with these sizes:
| Largest guitar that fits | Outside of the bag | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 106 cm (41.7 in) | 112 cm (44.1 in) |
| Width (lower bout) | 39 cm (15.4 in) | 44 cm (17.3 in) |
| Depth | 12.5 cm (4.9 in) | 13 cm (5.1 in) |
That covers 35 to 41 inch guitars: 1/2, 3/4 and full-size 4/4 acoustic and classical guitars. The movable neck holder keeps a smaller guitar in place.

Guitar backpack FAQ
Can I cycle with a guitar backpack?
Yes. Put on both shoulder straps and close the chest clip: the guitar stays still on your back and both hands stay on the handlebars. Adjust the straps so the bottom of the bag does not rest on your saddle.
What if it rains?
The 600D fabric is water-resistant. In a heavy shower, pull the included rain cover over the whole bag, neck included.
Can I bring my laptop?
Yes, the GigPack has a separate laptop pocket, apart from the guitar compartment.
Does a guitar backpack protect enough?
For daily use, yes: extra-thick padding, a reinforced neck and a protective flap at the bottom absorb bumps. For flights a hard case is safer. Read 20 reasons to choose a gig bag over a guitar case.
