I’ve had a North Face Surge for 4.5 years and it’s been absolutely rock solid in daily use as a commuter, weekend, gym and odd long ride straight after work bag. Some thieving toe-rag has got themselves a top notch piece of kit, with at least another 4.5 years life in it 🙁

Before I rush out and buy a brand new model, thought I’d look for a bag which can take a 3l bladder and enough kit for an all day ride at the weekend or a 15″ MacBook and a change of clothes during the week. Suggestions please?

Glasgow’s TNF shop had them in the sale at 50% off at the weekend. If you’re anywhere near, it might be worth a trip.

Thanks for the tip, I’m down south, will check the London store though
