Backpack criteria.todo

  • All black, no tacky logos
  • Laptop sleeve
  • Not too officey for hiking or cycling; not too outdoorsy for commuting
  • Waterproofish
  • External water bottle pocket (negates GoRucks etc)
  • ~20-25L
    • small enough to be a personal item on a plane
    • big enough for day-to-day use
  • Doesn't make you look like an accountant
  • Comfy straps (I've been using a packable daypack for a year and my shoulders hurt)

Current shortlist

Current packs

  • Timbuk2 Especial Raider
    • Almost perfect but it's not comfy enough for every day commuting
  • Topo Trip pack
    • No external water bottle pocket
    • Fits a 13" macbook pro but not in the sleeve, so it doesn't sit flush against your back :(
