Strengths: the last reveiwer pretty much summed it up. hurcan cupacity. many colors to choose from. bullet proof. it's basicly the best.Weaknesses: loading isn't as care free as with an ortlieb. and it's hotter too. but thats it.Bottom Line: you are crazy if you even try to defend your side bag. forget about those things. stand up straight and get a backbone!
these bags feel just plain luxerious.
Favorite Trail: whitican
Duration Product Used: 3 months

Strengths: Bombproof construction, completely waterproof, stable, amply padded back, MASSIVE capacity, understated look, 2 shoulder straps (i.e. my back is straighter!)Weaknesses: This model doesn't have the sexy Ferrari seatbelt buckle like the other bags, but that sucker's kinda heavy anyhow.
Unfortunately, these bags have been elevated to hipster status--first Carharts, then this. When you see overweight university students carrying them with a nalgene bottle clipped to the outside, a part of you sort of dies.Bottom Line: This bag is incredible--I live out of it. From my hilly-@ss commute with a heavy laptop, to grocery runs, to airline carry-on, this guy has served me well. It carries great, doesn't require overly careful loading (as the one-shoulder bags do), keeps everything dry, and has a one-hitter pocket on the seam. Buy one and beat it. It's not the cheapest rig going, but it will outlast 2 or 3 timbuk 2s (even with the ballistic nylon) and give you hassle-free service.
Favorite Trail: Reno's in Crested Butte CO
