Lowepro RidgeLine BP 250 Blue

The blue color is more vibrant in person than online, which was a nice surprise. I love how the padded laptop sleeve keeps my work gear separate from my camera insert. This bag has handled a dusty hike and a rainy bus commute equally well so far.

Trail or city, this pack handles both without skipping a beat. The weather protection on the exterior has already shrugged off a surprise downpour, and my camera gear stayed completely dry. Straps are comfortable enough for a full day hike, though the lumbar support could be slightly more padded.
