I did a ridiculous amount of research to find a new backpack. I needed something small enough to wear everyday going to school and work and riding around town on my bike but also something big enough for a 16 inch macbook and a bottle of water and all of the random daily things. And it needed to be waterproof. And it needed to have a small pocket on the back that I could easily get to while on my bike or walking around town. And it had to look good.
I finally found this bag and hesitated for a while because of the price but finally went for it. This is the greatest backpack I've ever owned. I can't explain why but even with the same exact stuff in it as my other bag it feels 50% lighter. It must be the way the straps are built and the width or something. My wife said the same thing.
I needed something waterproof in case I get caught in a downpour while on my bike so that was a must in choosing a bag. I haven't had a chance to test it yet but the zippers on this thing look waterproof as hell so I'm not worried.
I keep my 16in macbook in a small padded case for extra protection and it fits inside the bag perfectly. I'm so happy I got this bag. It is small and compact but holds everything I need on a daily basis.
I was also a little hesitant about getting the green because it looks a bit weird with the black zippers on the site but in person it's fantastic. Glad I went with that color.
I chose the 600 fabric because I figured it would be tougher and it seems really…
