Wants
-
- prevents a sweaty back
- good for walking to work
- ok for biking to work
- ok for airline travel
- normally will hold one laptop and one large tablet
- sometimes will hold two laptops and two tablets
- on flights will hold four laptops, three tablets, two kindles, and lots of wires
So far, only Osprey has a mesh panel to keep the back cool.
All the models I’m considering have a 25-ish and 35-ish size option. The larger size compresses down to the smaller one so there is little advantage in the smaller one considering when I do pack a jacket, it takes a lot of space.
Options
- Osprey
- Radial 34 (2019)
- Radial 34 (2018)
- Escapist
- Nebula
- Tropos
