Chasm

Its water/weather resistant Edit: Spray some scotchguard to the bag and the bottom of the bag as well (keeps the bottom slightly cleaner) The bag did it's job If you want a waterproof backpack then buy a truly waterproof backpack with a roll top closure and rubberized fabric Description of the Thule

Great comparison + review, thanks for sharing! I also love a water bottle pocket and have been surprised by how few packs I see these days seem to have them. I have a thule chasm and a foldie that both have a 40L max volume. The thule is so much heavier when empty; just a lot of bulk, but the straps

While you’re boosting one Swedish company, also Thule. Their bags are awesome. A little more urban utilitarian. I have a chasm backpack & duffle. Both my partner and I also have a EnRoute.

Thule Chasm 130L it can easily survive WW3 and you can find it on great prices

I'm happy with my backpack from Thule https://www.thule.com/de-de/backpacks/laptop-backpacks/thule-chasm-backpack-26l-_-3204984

I had the same issue with my The North Face Borealis model, but this Thule Chasm has gaps/channels on the front that look promising.I will test it for a couple of weeks and get back to this post with some feedback.

I have a small cloth laundry bag I got from a hotel years ago that I put my chalk bag in inside my Thule Chasm 30. Works great.

Thule has some great options in there!The Subterra lineup is also nice for a more "profressional look", but all the products I used from them were always great.I use a Subterra Hybrid for EDC/1-2 day travel (not the comfiest backpack, but it still works).I have a travel Bag/Backpack from the Crossov

It seems like you'll be fine with as little as 26liters or so. If you're a smaller person you would do well to keep the backpack as small as possible because large backpacks on small frames are uncomfortable and usually not very good looking. If you're taller you might prefer the fit and flexibility
