- This backpack has good back support (cushions against your back, chest and stomach straps for good weight distribution).
- It seems like it'd provide stellar water protection.
- The inside storage is minimal - I'd compare the storage to that of the "front-smaller pouch" on a normal school-backpack (i.e. stores pens, small paper, maybe a wallet). If you want to latch down a laptop, you might be out of luck, but I don't think that's a big deal.
Only other thing is that, when I first ordered this, I was expecting a slightly bigger backpack (based purely on the picture). It is a little smaller than it looks, and I'm glad. It is the perfect size for commuting without causing excessive wind-drag.
Would absolutely buy again.

USED THIS BAG FOR 4 YEARs.
Background (I am an avid cyclist who commutes to and from work, as well as does training rides in the weekends etc.) I originally purchased this back pack because it seemed to be more geared towards being a "bicycle back pack." I wanted a water tight back pack that would be snug fit against my body, thus when riding would not move around and be water proof in the rain.1.) This backpack really is not durable. I have had this backpack for 4 years (not this exact bag, keep reading). I had my first ortlieb bag for less than 2 years when the material started tearing away from each other. Exposing massive holes in the bag between the fabric and thus not making it water proof. I had to mail it in and they sent me a new backpack free of charge. (Supposedly you get a 5 year warranty.)2.) Now lets fast forward two more years, this time again the same problem. The bag is massively tearing at the seems, thus making it not water proof but now the holes are so big things you put in the bag will fall out, making this bag complexity useless. Thus both bags, same model, lasted less than 2 years each.3.) Now lets talk about size. If you are thinking about actually purchasing a backpack for commuting, buying maybe some groceries on the way home, and/or packing your lunch to work, this bag is probably on the smaller size. It is a small bag, with only one small compartment in the inside (for your wallet, ID etc), which honestly just gets in the way most of the time when you need really pack your bag.4.) Lets talk about the folding top of this bag. It is made of a velcro strap that will hold the "hatch" of the bag closed. Now if you are really packing your bag full, the velcro strap sucks at keeping the top closed, and you should be looking for a plastic or metal latch, (some other bags on the market have these and they are much more durable and practical.5.) PRICE, now lets get down the nitty gritty, is the price purchase for this bag worth the money in the current market. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! When I purchased the bag originally it was 120 dollars, 4 years ago, at the time I do not remember the market being as saturated with "the bicycle messenger bag" as they are now. This bag is okay, and is honestly you can find a competitive bag with the same or even better qualities for around 60-70 dollars. DO NOT BUY this bag for over 70 dollars, for you are wasting you money and can get a better product from another company.
