Pros & Cons
Pros
I'm wide shouldered and the bag is perfect for me. Only downside is because i am 5ft6 the bag restricts me slightly when i look over my shoulder. It also has padding when on your back to allow for air flow and ventilation.
The styling is excellent for a cyclist as the reflection qualities at night make one shockingly visible. High vis patch is a nice touch. Good reflectivity too.
The material and rollable pouch opening make it extremely waterproof. I actually have the bag permanently prepacked for weekend stays. It is waterproof and has been used in the rain several times.
The bag is very spacious and has a nice side pocket for laptop / ipad. Has enough room for office clothes plus a big lever arch file and a folder. The removable sleeve on the inside is a great touch, fits my lenovo x390 perfectly.
Cons
Workmanship of this rucksack is extremely poor. After cycling for 11 hours, i was immediately disappointed after finding multiple flaws. Laptop slot barely fits a 13 laptop. It's only 10l bag, not like it's says 20l.
