I have been looking for a truly BIFL bag for for over a month and it's gotten to the point where I am losing my mind. I almost pulled the trigger more than once, stopped either by my own hindsight prematurely catching up with me or my the great distress caused from ludicrously exorbitant international delivery and import taxes (EU-citizen and proud, lol.)

I will be using this bag for, almost literally, everything, ie. work, gym, weekend and carry-on travel. Bear I mind that I try, insofar as possible, to take full advantage of the volatile Irish weather so whenever there is sun, there is no chance I will not be commuting on my precious road bike and so, all that being said, the criteria are as follows:

  • - approx. 45-50L capacity : I'm aiming relatively high to have ample space for occasional getaways but my typical pack is a laptop, change of clothes, pair of shoes, dopp kit, food, Kindle, other electronics and a u-lock,
  • - durable AF : I take g meticulous care of everything but it is bound to get beat up,
  • - backpack straps : bicycle, also, messenger/cross-shoulder bags are the back's death (waist straps would be preferable but I could easily arrange for them myself),
  • - pleasantly aesthetic, doesn't look out of place in an office : I work for a well-known tech company and even though there is a very friendly and lax corporate culture, I like to keep things snappy and sophisticated... on the flip side I wouldn't mind something with a tactical vibe to it.

Budget limit is drawn at the beauty of a couple hundred Euro, USD, GBP (it's all the same, plus ou moins) although I'd be delighted to see anything beneath that unless of course the offer is one only unconscionably rejected.

Unfortunately this US-only beaut from Under Armour checked pretty much everything off my list to nothing more than earth-shatteringly brutal heartbreak, so here I am, seeking your opinions.

I await your enlightenment xoxoxo
