The Widekick has all the features of it's smaller sibling the Sidekick, just 5cm wider!

It can be worn as both a shouderbag and backpack and is a great streamlined work bag.

Wear as a shoulderbag?

Your Widekick is a 2-in-1 that can be worn as a shoulderbag and/or a backpack.

This makes it especially versatile as it can be configured as required.

... or as a backpack

As a backpack it is an elegant way to carry a laptop while cycling as the weight is kept balanced and centred on the body.

It is shown above with two narrower 4cm wide straps (though will also work the 5cm wide straps as shown on the shoulderbag).

The straps you receive can be clarified when you place your order.



What people are saying about their Widekick ...

I ordered my first bag (large laptop) many, many years ago when Mattt had a stall on St Kilda.

I was visiting Melbourne at the time. It was delivered to NZ where I was working at the time.
I was so impressed that when needing a backpack went straight to Matt for another great bag with style, practicality and durability.
My bag (large laptop) has a Blue Fairy Wren pattern (so Australian; one of my favourite birds) and has been in constant use for many years - local commutes, interstate and overseas meetings.
It has had NO maintenance issues and still serves me well. The design is clever and functional. I note that newer models have had some changes (e.g., the outer pocket is zipped).

Durability, style and practicality.

I can take it to work everyday and then take it out on weekends and out for dinner.
It goes with me everywhere.

I do like that you can just choose the panel and then the bag and it gets made up for you.

I totally ordered at the worst time of the year when you were on a break though still happy.
I like it even more than my old mattt bag because the zipper is tougher. The design is gorgeous and I get a lot of comments on it.
I guess I’ll be back in another five years when this one bites the dust? Yes, my old bag lasted that long with daily abuse! Maybe I should buy a couple and tuck them away somewhere. I wouldn’t mind one of the smaller bags too.
