timbuk2 tahoe bag Authority Laptop Backpack Deluxe and Timbuk2s Double Timbuk2 City Compass Flap Backpack

Pros: Trolley sleeve Water-resistant Cons: Expensive Color(s): 5 Size: 12 x 5.9 x 17.7 inches Materials: Nylon with leather Away Customer Review: I never thought Id prefer a backpack over a tote, but adding this as my small carry-on for travel has been a great decision

But for travelers who like to frequently return to their pack while in transit, the Black Hole makes doing that a more awkward proposition

Chronic overpackers are bound to love this bag, too, thanks to two interior compression straps that help keep soft goods cinched down so you can easily close the burly zips on the lid

Another advantage of lining it with a pigskin is that it is a lighter color, making it easier to see your belongings inside and in the interior pockets and compartments
