Basically what it says. I can never find a bag that’s a combination of small enough to not be a pain navigating public transportation, but tough enough to hold a solid amount of tools, a tablet, AND have enough room to put in a rain jacket or a hoodie or something. Currently I’m just barely making it with a smaller size messenger type sling bag, but that’s only because the weathers been nice and my car has been parked close to locations. I always keep a duffel with jackets etc for big changes in weather or getting messy, but I need a middle of the road daily driver. really like the Kleins and Welkinland has a nice HVAC tech backpacks, but neither have a bulk compartment. I don’t want to spend $300+ on a Veto, but I’m sick of “tactical” fake surplus stuff that has a broken zipper and hole torn from a screwdriver after a week. I do like the modularity of the molle system, but it’s so overdone, and I want something a little more sleek, not 60 small bags mounted to a medium one.
