This has been an excellent urban/outdoor backpack for me. I have come to trust the pack to keep my computer and my gear dry. Shoulder straps molded to my shoulders after about a week of use. The Kangaroo pocket on the outside makes for a nice place to stick smaller gear (camera, wallet, food, etc.).

Somewhere around 10 lbs the backpack gets too heavy for the design. If you are looking to carry heavier loads you should consider the RT 25.

A final note—-this backpack looks really cool.
