The commuting backpack thread

[Barry Stuart]

This was covered lightly in the packing thread but, unless I've missed another thread somewhere, I thought it would be good to get a round up and review of the packs other people use to commute to varsity or work.

 

I'm personally looking for something that will hold a 15" laptop securely as well as a change of shirt and a few other small items.

 

This is what I'm considering at the moment, mostly for the brightness, the ability to carry my laptop and my notebooks but it does err on the bulky side. Would prefer something slimmer but still high visibility: http://www.takealot.com/high-sierra-scrimmage-school-backpacks-blaze-orange-with-white-a/PLID34149536

First Ascent AR-X 25.

Love the strap system, but I only commute with a 12" laptop
