I really like the Incase ICON. Nice laptop compartment, has a small easily accessible pocket where I keep all my chargers and caffeine pills, and a spacious middle compartment that can fit my Mac charger, a notepad, and a couple changes of clothes (makes the backpack really stuffed so I only carry 2 if I really have to)
Looking into this one recently though https://www.peakdesign.com/products/everyday-backpack?variant=9783969284140#&gid=1&pid=12
I find that the PD backpack can be a bit too heavy by itself for every day (although disclaimer I'm not a huge girl standing at 5'5"). It's also really structured which I like the look of, but I find I grab for my softer Timbuk2 more often since it feels more casual/relaxed to wear if that makes sense
Tom Bihn Synapse. It's bulletproof and super comfy.
Damn, they make bullet proof backpacks now. A grim thought, but I’m glad I finished school when I did.
That's more of a travel bag. I have it. Can pack the whole world into it when I wanna go backpacking. But for everyday to work it becomes disorganised with no built-in laptop compartment. U have to basically buy attachment for every compartment u want. Also too big for just office commute.
Timbuk2
I second this. Very utilitarian if you like that. Waterproof and can hold a lot. I've walked in a thunderstorm with it and everything stayed dry. They look very sexy and futuristic if that's your style.
Which one?
Yeti
Saddleback
TUMI has a great collection.
Tumi ... But without TC we anticipate recommend now can we?? Tsk tsk. Rookie mistake. Post TC.
I really like my Herschel backpack. Highly recommend.
Which one do you have?
I have Pop Quiz and Mammoth.
