Hi!

My name is Maikel and I am a 25-year-old passionate athlete and business owner. I'm a runner at national level, through some unfortunate injuries I got into cycling and later swimming, which led me to focus on triathlons! After a few years where cycling was my main sport and everything else was an afterthought, I found a new balance where running at my old level was made possible by seeing cycling as support rather than an alternative.

In 2021, I managed to perform well at national level and qualify for the European 10,000m under-23 championships! This has given me new perspectives and motivates me to get everything out of the sport in the coming period.

How the pack got started
I live along the southern North Sea coast in the Netherlands, which makes loving cycling very easy because of the beautiful views and fun routes. While cycling, I found it annoying that my phone, coins, keys and tools were all loose in the pocket of my shirt. This resulted in using small freezer bags, but they are not quite optimal as my keys could still scratch my phone and the bags would rip every few rides.

That's when the idea of developing the Pack Essentials Case for all-weather use was born. A handy water-repellent case with multiple pockets for different uses.

Since then the collection grew to include bags used for daytrips and longer. In an expensive world I am motivated to offer great quality items for an acceptable price.

I hope you enjoy The Pack as much as I do. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
