Have owned Patagonia's Half Mass, various Timbuk2 bags, as well as a couple Crumplers. TNF has outlasted them all. Great in wet commutes, and big enough for a padded laptop case as well as office clothes and lunch. Quality is good and the warranty is unbeatable.

Wanted to say I have also tried Timbuk2, Seal line, Chrome, Ortlieb, and Knog among others. The reason this bags beats them all is comfort and sizing. The cross band is really a waistband (like Knog) so it takes all the extra weight off your shoulders on AND off the bike. I'm a girl with a petite-ish frame and the M fits perfectly vs other bags dwarfing me! The dimensions make it seem like it carries a bit less than the Timbuk2 med but this is not the case at all. Finally a comfortable roomy bag perfect for my laptop AND books without seeming oversized. P.S.Unlike another reviewer's experience my bag looks identical to the photo above-in Bomber Blue.
