twiga Posted January 16, 2012 Share As per subject, can anyone recommend a good pack for lugging around a laptop (15.5")? Also does anyone know of a model that supports a laptop AND hydration? Or is this the holy grail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker911 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Hmmm the 1 reason I dont cycle to work and back is because my laptop weighs 3kg's. I cannot imagine lugging a laptop and water being at all pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Plant Posted January 16, 2012 Share twiga ASG advertised one a while ago that was really cool it had a built in solar panel for recharging i dont remeber it having an hydration option, maybe contact ASG for more info or else Belkin make a back pack that i use but also no hydration system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagermeister Posted January 16, 2012 Share I have cycled with my laptop before - I used a Targus Campus backpack which did the job 100%. I would not recommend including hydration in the same backpack for the simple reason that if it leaks (and it will happen) then your laptop will be kaput. Use a bottle instead! If you are looking for this Targus backpack, I also happen to have a brand new one (in black). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur1 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Targus +1, I load in it my clothes (excl shoes), laptop, lunchbox and some other add-ons for the laptop no problem. Use a bottle instead of a hydration pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeabre Posted January 16, 2012 Share First Ascent Orbit 35. Can take hydration and laptop, with food, clothes etc. Also has straps that go around the chest. Has a waterproof cover that you can pull over, which actually works. Brilliant piece of kit, oh and has a little side pouch for the pepper spray quick access.

Ok, so it may not have a hydration pack... but it looks awesome and has a mini cooler bag that can fit 3 red bulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
