Perfectly Dry: for Mobile Work or a Weekend Hike
Likely to return to update after a longer period of use (~3 weeks now), but I'm already head over heels for this bag.Keeps my books and electronics 100% dry during a storm and VERY stylish despite it's utilitarian appearance in the photos. Plenty of pockets to store clutter-collectors like me, and SO MUCH space for a complete mobile office if you need it. Especially charming is the laptop sleeve, which I am able to stuff with a 14 inch laptop, it's bulky charger, a large power bank, a wireless keyboard, and a bulky-shaped vertical mouse. All comes out in one piece when I sit in a cafe for work.Suspect it would make a fantastic weekend hike bag or a weekend trip. Could easily fit three days clothes and some provisions.

Super-duper value
I got this guy for commuting to classes in Seattle. I wanted something cute, but durable and (above all) water-proof. This meets all the criteria. Minus 1 star for no other color choices :)My husband has a similar commuter bag by Ortlieb. This is larger (though not too large), and better accommodates a few text books, computer and snacks than his, but the material and color choices are a little lower-grade. I don't mind, the Ortlieb pack cost 3X as much.

bottom of bag opened up at seam the first use
I bought this bag to use on a vacation because it was waterproof and looked nice. The first time I used it the bottom opened up at the seam. The bottom has a glued together seam and it opened up about 5 inches allowing things to fall out of the bottom which made it completely worthless. I never used this bag and thought I would be able to return it when I returned home from vacation but since I bought this a couple of months ahead prior to my trip the window of return has already closed. Had I known I would not be able to return I would have just given it away instead of hauling it across several countries. I have several dry bags and only bought this one because it it did not look like plastic.

Perfect for daily, or adventures in most climates.
I love this pack! Super roomy, it has a protected insert for my macbook so I can use it daily. It’s waterproof and perfect for travel. It seems like it will hold up perfect for trips to Sunriver or a half day hike in Mountains or when traveling abroad. Love the clean, aesthetic.

Great waterproof backpack
I got tired of using another brand backpack that was "waterproof" and decided to go with something that was different. I use this backpack on a daily basis and it has protected library books and my computer; nothing's ever gotten wet inside of it. I like that you can fold over and snap the top down so that water doesn't get inside, one of the problems I had with my old backpack. Aside from this, the backpack is made out of waterproof material, so nothing inside the backpack gets wet from the outer material being rained on. I haven't used this on a hike or anything, but I am supremely satisfied with the product.

Versatile, functional and stylish
This backpack suits all my needs: being stylish when commuting to university, reliable on international travel and a companion for short backpacking adventures and kayaking trips due to the airtight design. Furthermore I like the minimalistic appearance and the heterogeneous grey is a great choice for being not too conspicuous and making dirt invisible. In general the backpack is comfortable to carry even with the minimal padding. I would have liked to see a removable hip belt but the removable chest strap and shoulder straps are already a plus. An inflatable back padding which could double as a sitting pad would have been the perfect upgrade. The bag is surprisingly pickpocket proof due to the fact that one has to open two clips on each side and roll it up all the way to access the interior which is great when traveling. The 30L volume allows me store more than one might think. The removable laptop compartment complements this, even if its quality lags a little bit behind the rest of the very well-built backpack.I am personally not a big fan of straps bouncing around while in motion, which is the case for the adjustment straps on both sides. I simply solved the problem by sewing a small elastic strap to the strap attachment point allowing me to store the excess strap snug and tight which could have been done in the factory.Apart from all the minor improvement suggestions above this bag is truely functional, stylish and absolutely fantastic, especially at this price point.

Waterproof
This is a sleek water proof pack. The quality is better than I expected. It doesn't have a messy look but it's got what you need with an exterior water bottle pocket. There is a lot of attention to quality detail from the attractive water proof fabric down to the small details with velcro to keep the extra strap lengths neatly bundled up and out of your way. This will not just be my outdoor bag but my everyday bag.

Great bag!
I love this bag! Bigger than I thought. I was impressed with the quality for the price of the bag. I can't believe it's waterproof! I would recommend this bag to anyone who needs to have a bag to commute to work with and or go hiking. I use this daily for my bike ride to work. I live in the Pacific Northwest and needed something to keep my clothes and laptop dry.
