Backpack for riding?
I'm looking for a good backpack for commuting and all-day rides. I have a TimBuk2 bag that works really well, but it lacks pockets and the single strap gets uncomfortable over time.
The perfect backpack would be:
- Fully waterproof. I want to ride without worrying about all my stuff getting wet if I get caught in the rain.
- Easy on/off with gear on. Quick release straps so i don't have to do a dance in the parking lot to get the **** thing on and off.
- Organization pockets (Pens, pencils, tool kit, etc
- Not too many straps to whip around in the wind.
- Not tiny, not huge. Room for a laptop, noteboks, extra layer or two, a pair of shoes, but not a week's worth of clothes.
- Not goofy looking. I have no desire to be seen with a hard-shell bag, or one of the newly popular 'messenger backpacks'. Both are just stupid looking, IMHO.
I'm willing to sacrifice some organization pockets and some goofyness for something that's waterproof with quick-release straps. I'm considering messenger bags, as they seem perfect in so many ways, but having 2 straps is a big plus for me.
I don't have any desire at all to use the features most moto specific backpacks tout, such as a hydration pack pocket or the ability to carry a full-face helmet. I wouldn't rule out a bag that had those, but I'm not looking for them.
Does this backpack exist?
