Greetings,
After a couple of years' good service it's time to retire my backpack.
In my last couple of (and current) contracts it's required I bring my laptop. It's stopping me from cycling in due to lack of space, holes and no waterproofing.
Ideally as a commuter pack I'd like something able to house (at maximum):
- Change of clothes (jeans, t-shirt, socks, boxers etc)
- 15'' laptop w/keyboard, power supply, mouse and potentially some other small bits
- Pair of shoes
- Small lunchbox or lunch in a bag (usually a sandwich and a couple of fruit items)
- Keys/phone/wallet
- Tyre levers, small pump, inner tubes, lights, few loose pound coins--- the usual bike stuff
- Compact rain jacket (doesn't take much space to be honest)
- Rubber chicken (actually this isn't completely necessary)
- Compartments would be nice also- to keep laptop separate.
- Protection from rain required.
Not interested in panniers, would like to keep it on my back.
Any recommendations?
