Amazon Basics Ergonomic Backpack (Grey, 30 litres)

Product Information

The classic DAKINE campus model is also available, in a more compact version, with a volume of 25 liters. Pros & Benefits: Being a gadgets friendly laptop, logically the bag is water resistant. Note that this is different from being waterproof, though it can still resist light rain while you look for cover. Other handy features include an external USB charging port, a headphone hole, a rugged top handle for carrying, side adjustable straps, and a detachable key ring. The lanyard design on the shoulder straps lets you hang sunglasses and other small items.

The wide, padded shoulder straps, which you can easily adjust in length, also serve to ensure high wearing comfort. Designed for outdoor sports, the durable and water-resistant Friendly Swedecan withstand the toughest weather conditions. Take a jog in the rain or go kayaking and your gear will stay dry. We discovered that, despite only being rated as having an 18.5litre capacity, we managed to cram a huge amount in without it looking stuffed or feeling unbalanced. This is partly due to the unstructured nature of the design, and our only niggle with it is the fact the laptop sleeve doesn’t have any additional protection, so make sure you put your bag down carefully. Used as is and your shirt gets crumpled in minutes, but Stolt Running has designed a hard-shell case that fits perfectly in the main cavity and has room for a neatly folded shirt and suit. They even include a folding board (with instructions) to help you fold properly. There’s also a shoe bag and a reflective rain cover for dark, wet journeys.

Side note: the Farpoint 55 is a gender-specific design and is engineered to fit best on men. The women’s version of the Farpoint 55 is the Osprey Fairview. The demdex cookie, set under the domain demdex.net, is used by Adobe Audience Manager to help identify a unique visitor across domains.

It’s big, but weighs very little – less than the Knomo Novello, but with 10+ litres more capacity – and the use of multiple compartments helps you keep on top of your stuff. The material is exceptionally robust, and while the media/laptop section is easy to organise, the main front compartment for your clothes has a stuff-it-and-see feel about it. Not a big deal, but if the zips opened slightly more, organising our pants would be so much simpler.The smartest feature of the bag though, has to be the sturdy base. It both supports the bag in an upright position and is rendered in reflective Scotchlite – for massively improved visibility when riding in the dark.
