All you people here seem pretty smart, techie types - what bags do you use for your every day carrying?
I’ve got the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. It’s hard to describe all the ways it works for me, it’s so versatile. You can open both sides, and the internal dividers are adjustable. It’s designed for photographers, but I found it great for carrying whatever equipment I use (I do a lot of podcast production, so might have mics and an audio recorder and cables and what not). My only regret is buying the 30l size which is quite massive - I thought I could use it to take all my stuff to the gym on work days, but sadly my gigantic feet mean my trainers are too big to fit in. (I solved the entire issue by paying for a locker at the gym and leaving everything there - I don’t know why I didn’t think of this first), so if I was buying it again I’d go for the 20l option, which is still very roomy.
I buy a ridiculous number of bags, I tend to get a new ‘big’ one every year, and smaller ones whenever I spot one I like, so this thread could have a negative effect on my bank balance.
It’s spacious enough inside for a thin laptop and gym gear at the same time. But most of the time it’s just got my noise cancelling headphones, something to drink and then a couple of ‘tech bags’, basically some small pouches & cases for holding USBs, cables, adapters (#dongles) and various other tech bits
If I were to upgrade I’d be looking at a Bellroy bag
But the bag you linked has peaked my interest! 3rd alt. is a kickstarter bag with batteries and cables built in, etc. But I’m happy with my basic bag for now
I’ve been using a Crumpler Dark Side backpack since 2008. It’s supposed to be a laptop bag, but I rarely actually carry on. The reason I particularly like the bag is that when you’re wearing it, the straps go over the zip so it’s almost impossible to anyone to open it.
My current one is Samsonite Red and I am pretty happy with it (sadly model no longer on sale), but if I was to upgrade I will still be buying Samsonite Red, probably this one:
I too seem to be a hoarder of bags. I’ve got a couple of North Face ones, which are great but I find them a bit of a pain when it comes to them staying in shape. I use them mostly for when I’m on holiday so I can just throw everything in them. My current bag is this:
I love that it’s sturdy and stylish; and it’s roomy enough for me - easily stores a folder, some notebooks, my MacBook, iPad and others odds and sods.
I use a samsonite also one of the Guardit range to be presice. I love that its sturdy, lasted over two years daily use and no signs of wear and tear. Also it holds what I need it too, laptop couple of books and other bits and bobs
Great thread and like others have said, gonna be expensive! Here’s my latest. Loved the design but wished it had a few more pockets. https://goo.gl/images/dMJUSj
I’ve always been a fan of Crumpler Messenger bags. Used one for almost 8 years before buying my new one. Fits in my laptop and anything I need during the day. Messenger bags are great for cyclists!
Extremely waterproof bags, bottom of my jeans got soaked with the water run off on Friday during the thunder storm we had in Edinburgh (carrying the Wee Lug).
Nothing too fancy, just liked the style 
my interest!
