Need to get hold of a new back pack that will carry a laptop. Not needed for full on touring but to be used for business travel and commute to work in car and bike etc. Any recommendations ?
Yep always use Swissgear for all my rucksack, laptop bag and overnight bags. The laptop rucksack is superb, more pockets than you can shake a stick at and fully adjustable with a waist band which is especially useful on a bike.
Yup Swissgear are very good. One of the the Knox backpacks also had a space for laptops iirc and looked very good last time I looked at one.
There's only one Backpack I'd consider for Bike use and that's the Kreiga R range from size 15-35. Kriega R15 Rucksack - Demon Tweeks Kriega R20 Rucksack - Demon Tweeks This being the pick of the crop! Kriega R35 Rucksack - Demon Tweeks
I have the old version of the Knox SixPack (I think)... it comes with a padded laptop bag, and internal pocket to take said laptop bag... all straps in nice and securely and even feels OK once its on your back.
+1 Kriega outstanding piece of kit Another one I use when working away to carry my laptop, power, documents etc is overboard. They specialise in waterproof bags in all shapes and sizes. Waterproof Bag – Waterproof Case – Waterproof Bags – Dry Bag | OverBoard https://www.over-board.co.uk/
I'd go for the Kriega R30 as it's fully waterproof. I think Kriega also do a laptop inner sleeve as an extra. Unbeatable IMO. Not cheap though.
i have a Kriega - dont like it...for short trips its a pain..as you have to undo the clips every time you need to get into the bags..including the little zip pocket..rather annoying...
