i'm looking for a replacement travel backpack, something big, water resistant if i get caught in the rain, can pad a 16" laptop. i'm on a budget these days.

i find i no longer trust reviews on the internet, pretty much anywhere. maybe i trust "word of mouth"? any recommendations?

@interfluidity I’ve had my Tom Bihn bag for about a decade, use it for bicycle commuting daily and took it on trips. Interior stitching that forms pockets for pens, wallet, phone, etc. has partly come loose but otherwise solid. Their bags were advertised as “rain resistant” rather than “rain proof”. I carry a stuff sack in it for rain.

Laptop has its own case that clips in.

Not cheap, but amortized over a decade…?

@interfluidity dm me your address. I’ve got a spare backpack that meets your criteria. I’ll send it down.
