Timbuk2 Lightbrite Swig Backpack (OS)

I ride my bike to work most days and my old backpack just didn't have the capacity to hold my laptop and cables, a change of clothes, some bike tools, and a book or two. This backpack does have room for all that. I've even brought cleats when I have an ultimate game later. I really like the material it's made out of. It is highly waterproof and so I don't worry about carrying my company laptop even in the rain. Sometimes when closing the main flap, the corners will stick out and could let water in. I take care to tuck in the corners and haven't had a problem. I really like the reflective stripe when I'm riding at dusk cause I know the cars can see me. I don't know why the stripe is on the right side though since i mostly ride on the right side of the road, the stripe is on the curb side. I think it should be on the left closer to the traffic but again, I haven't had any problems. My only other complaint is that the straps are really long and if you tighten them so the pack is high on your back, the ends flap around like streamers behind you. I may shorten them one of these days. The side zippers are cool. I rarely use them though. I didn't realize there were two of them until I received the pack. There's one for the laptop compartment and one for the front pouch. The front one is a little difficult to reach into especially if the pack is full. Also the bag will easily carry a 17" laptop, you just won't be able to get it out of the side zipper pocket. But there is plenty of space for it in the pack's laptop compartment.

This is a great pack for daily use, traveling, riding.. really anything you can throw at it. It's waterproof so that's come in handy a couple of times and it's really easy to clean. I get tons of compliments on the bag. You'd be surprised how much will fit in here. It holds my laptop comfortably and leaves room to spare the side access to the laptop is a huge time saver at the airport. I have a small personal laptop (13 in), but I have a monster laptop from work and it still holds that one comfortably. Really great pack I'd totally recommend this one.

I love the side entry pocket to be able to get things from either the front pocket or my laptop. My only complaint is that it is a bit small. Wish it could hold more. Commuting back and forth to school on the train this weatherproof backback is the bomb but I often find myself with a book or two that just won't fit. By making this bag just a bit bigger I would be jumping for joy.
