I've been a commuter for about 10 years now, and this is my favorite of the 4 bags I've gone through. I've used it about 5 times/week for at least 4 months. It's extremely comfortable I've had almost no problems with it at all, no matter what I carry it it which is much appreciated. The back area is well padded and breathable. It has a mesh back on the pad that keeps my back from getting as sweaty as some that just have the nylon directly against your back. The shoulder straps are perfect. There is a side slit to access stuff a bit more easily. I really appreciate the safety stripe and bright color I mainly wear dark clothes, so it's nice to not have to worry about that with this pack. As much as I love black and olive green, it's nice to have an orange pack with a reflective stripe every day at both rush hours. I've not had to weather any huge storms since we're in the middle of a drought, but it's gotten me through two light storms with perfect dryness. It's go an outer pocket that you can carry a jacket in, some waterproof pockets that are smaller, great reflective straps and a flap that's big enough to cover the whole thing. The closure velcros shut and folds over under the flap for extra protection and security. Like I said, this is my favorite pack so far. My only suggestions the inside lining is black, which makes it harder to find stuff when I'm changing in the dark-ass closet in my office. I'd like a ligher colored lining, like yellow. I'd like more inner pockets, which I suppose I could add. The handle on top is awesome, but if I forget to fold it down into the window, it rubs on my neck the whole ride. But, compared to all my other packs, this is FAR beyond good. Each pack has a serial number too, so you can register them and get a follow up if you ever have any problem. I'd probably give this a 4.5, or 95%, but I'm the only review, and really want to stress how much I love this pack. VERY high quality.
My wife uses a small Portage bag as a purse, and also loves it.
