Flying Solo Gear Co

Really like my Ashvault backpack, clearly a lot of thoughts has been put into it, and it shows. The nice design of the reflective part is both beautiful and effective, giving me a good sense of security. I use it every day on my bicycle commute!

This place rocks! Quality gear and super friendly customer service. Ive been shopping with them for years and dont see that changing any time soon :)

It was actually a non trading day but lucky for me Amanda was there and gladly opened up.What a great shopping experience! Walked in to purchase two items but the stock available is so great I walked out over the moon with much more. Great customer service, Amanda knows the items so well and gave great advice on size and fit. Amanda was delighted with the offer of bank transfer payment, I’m always happy to help and support other small businesses. Can’t wait to visit you in your new store & purchase from you again Amanda. All the best to you!

Great customer service - able to go and make a purchase in-store on one of their non-trading days. Immediate response to my online query which enabled me to meet them in-store to buy/collect within the hour! Keep up the great work :-)

Bought the Ashvault backpack and I can honestly say it’s the best pack for biking I’ve ever tried. Just the perfect size, no annoying straps flapping about, distracting you from the ride and it’s upper comfortable as well. Oh, and did I mention that it looks badass too!!?

Bought the Ashvault backpack...honest to god one of the best decisions I made! I wanted a cute little backpack that I can use for uni that doesn't look bulky but also carries weight nicely since it will have the laptop and books and this one does wonders! I also just love the simple fact that i can hook the helmet to it and leave it at that

Bought the Medium Tully bag. You can tell straight away the amount of thought that has gone in to this product. Quality far exceeded my expectations as did the communication during the transaction. Already browsing the website looking for my next purchase

Amanda is amazing, even when the shop face is closed, she replies via email or chat from the webpage quickly. It’s always a pleasure going there to look for plus size riding gear. She has a great range of sizing!!! Absolutely love my new jacket, chatted prior and Amanda had it laid out and ready for me to try on as I walked in. If I could give 100 stars I would… Thanks again Amanda!!!!

Amanda is a fantastic person who sells very nice apparel. Still wearing a hoodie for many years, thin and lightweight, yet super warm. If I had the money, I would buy everything that Flying Solo has to offer.

Ashvault Backpack Review:First off, I love this backpack! I bought it at the end the season and I wish I’d bought it sooner! I’m completely obsessed with how awesome it is.Perfect for a day ride to hold all my essentials and enough pockets to neatly separate all my gadgets.Anyone who owns this backpack knows from how it’s designed that Amanda took a lot of care and thoughtfulness to make it beautiful and functional for riders.I love the stealth side pockets for valuables and the orange interior for visibility incase of road side emergencies.I bring this bag out almost every time I ride. It’s comfortable for whole day rides and doesn’t leave my shoulders or back sore. And it is waterproof! I live in Vancouver (rain city)and recently got caught in a TORRENTIAL downpour. The Ashvault kept all my belongings dry!The only downside to this bag is the capacity. I’ve been begging Amanda to make a bigger version!To anyone who’s thinking of buying one but is on the fence, do yourself a favour and buy one. You won’t regret it.
