My chrome (single strap) messenger bag has been choking me every time I wear it with my laptop in it. I just can’t seem to get it “high” enough on my shoulder. I would like to get a backpack style (two strap)… do you have any suggestions?
Requirements
- Waterproof
- Double Strap (Backpack)
- Medium sized
- It can be custom but it has to be fabricated already
Here is a list of what I have already looked at this week: Chrome, Reload, FabricHorse, SAG, Incase, Bailey Works.

A friend swears by his SealLine Urban Packpack. http://cascadedesigns.com/SealLine/Urban/Urban-Backpack/product He commutes 10 or so miles each way, carrying a MacBook among other things.

When I need to carry my laptop around I use my Ortlieb back pack ( well I steal my boyfriends but same thing
) http://www.rei.com/product/768570 Plenty of room, 100% waterproof, comfy on your shoulders and back and they roll down to a smaller size if needed. The Seal line ones do look more elegant though.

Can’t go past a Macpac Kahu 18. Waterproof canvas, very comfy & not that expensive. Well organised inside with a pocket for everything.

Thanks for all the tips! I still don’t know what I’m going to get! All these options have just made me want them all!
