    They don’t mention the $300 plus price tag for the Mission Workshop bag. No thanks!

    It always surprises me how much people seem to want waterproof bags. I can pick up any high sierra bag and ride with it in the rain and all my stuff is completely fine. I literally would have to be riding for over 30 minutes in a complete downpour to even think about the fact that my stuff would get wet in a NORMAL BACKPACK. Am I the only one with this experience?

    I’m looking for a commuter backpack, I work in the office and carry a 15" laptop and may want room for a change of clothes. Do you have a recommendation for anything between 20-30L in size and a tad stylish?

    Why would you cycle carrying backpacks that huge? Just get panniers
