For business travel I usually will bring along my trusted Samsonite Red.
Otherwise I will second a Timbuk

Korean small batch Indie label IISE. I'm Facebook friends with one of the founders/owners as we worked on a past project before. Good online reviews overall.

Sadly, their seasonal sale ended a day ago. This was going for $260, now back up to $385:

The run-of-the-mill Nike Cheyenne backpack in all black is very safe and it's an excellent workhorse - it can take a beating and you don't have to baby it. Also it's really affordable:

FYI, I have a thing for all black bags.

i had this before.. it is an ok bag i guess.

Thinking of getting the little america mid volume as is 7.5cm smaller than my little america.. anyone else got other recommendation?

+1 to this. Using it now and loving its good looks (slick and easy to match) and practicality (able to expand, waterproof and lifetime warranty).

the only con its its price.

Ya agree the price pretty steep.. but take it as investment lol.. I thrash my bag pretty hard.. use around nearly 2 years (1 and only everyday pack plus overseas).. still no sign of wear or tear.. Got medical oilment leak into my bag compartment.. I thought my bag is gonner as usually the liquid will start to eat all the nylon but till now no sign of degrading..

I own a good range of backpacks and my opinion in looking for backpack is to first check out the height of the backpack. Height <= torse length for best comfort. If backpack is too high for your torso, it will feel big and rub on your butt.

I highly recommend Goruck GR0. End game bag. Otherwise stylish and durable laptop bag can try Booq.

IMO most important thing is the straps - how are they padded and designed.. Some backpacks look good but have straps that bit into your shoulder.

thats regarding the bag construction. if the size is not right, no matter how padded the straps are, it will still feel uncomfy carrying for long duration. but i agree the straps are important, just that most people ignore the importance of bag height.

Got a Porter as birthday gift. Like it a lot especially the material and workmanship. It's a bit on the big side though, even for a 180 tall guy
