I'm trying to get a Christmas present for my Dad. He bikes to work and and he wants a bag to fit in his pannier, so it has to be flexible like a tote bag, a sack pack, etc. He just needs a bag to carry his stuff from his bike to his work and back. If it's an inflexible bag he will probably NOT use it. Sorry I keep emphasizing this point but in the past when I've asked people for advice they keep recommending your typical big stiff leather messenger bags. The kind of material people use when packing light for hiking or something would probably fit the bill better.
My Dad literally uses a shopping bag to transport his belongings, including his big iPad, so it won't be hard to improve upon that. The trick here is to get a bag that doesn't look too feminine. It doesn't have to last literally for life.
Here is a design I found I like. This looks cool and durable although a bit too big. Right now I really want to get him these bags which seem waterproof, durable, practical, and come with plenty of pockets/customizability, but unfortunately if I buy them now they won't ship out until Spring.
