I received this bag over the holidays (from Santa no less) and have have enjoyed the change in my posture ever since. Previously, I had carried a typical over-sized Samsonite shoulder bag and noticed a sharp pain developing over the last year and a half. I was speaking with some coworkers and that said they had to switch to the backpack style after their doctors noticed developing back issues. Out of all the bags I researched, this was the only one that stated it was water resistant. A necessary if you plan on carrying a laptop or papers and don't want to have to worry about rain soaking the bag. The only problem I have noticed is that it is a little difficult to put a laptop in the padded compartment and extra fidgeting may be needed. Other than that, a top bag.
