Got one of these, really like it, perfect for keeping gear dry and will take a laptop, clothes and lunch. Roll top and enough wee pooches for tools n shit like that.

Do you reckon it would get a 17inch laptop in it. As in total monster?

If you give me dimensions, I'll check JV.

I had one of those.

The main flaws were that it didn't have chest or waist straps, and the straps themselves seemed to get a bit smelly from damp and sweat a bit easily.

But pretty good, especially at that price!

Yes, that fits. I'd say it'll be pretty comfy, it's a big old flat pack, and is well padded on the back.

I have the messenger version and can confirm well made and sturdy, paddings pretty good too. Not used it on the bike though but as a laptop lugger its great. Mine was rrp but for the money its great

I've used it with a lap top on my 12 mile commute a good few times. Carying a lap top is never fun but the back is well padded with dense foam blocks.

Its not particularly shaped but its fine. I've also used a Pakuma (?) laptop rucsac before and the BTwin put the laptop in a better position for bike riding.

A slightly more expensive [url=www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/drybag-daypack.html]alternative[/url] that might be more comfortable.

The quality of products from these people is excellent (although I don't have that particular bag)

Success!

Tell you what though its a bloody tightfit.

I'm also not really seeing the point of the side zip which my laptop WILL NOT FIT THROUGH.

But it'll get it and my running kit to work.
