New Bag for every day use.

[Fluffyyyzzz]

Hi Every one,

I am in the market for a new laptop bag, but at the same time in the market for a Motorbike. I know what bike I want but I have no idea what bag to get. I don't have a huge budget I would like not to spend more than R600, but I know that is pushing it. So if I have to save that is just something I will need to do. I need the bag to be as waterproof as possible since if it rains I need my laptop to be okay and I don't want to be too big. It just needs to be perfect for a 15 inch laptop, a couple of books, small lunch box, charging cables(for laptop and phone) and obviously all the small things, eg earphones and wallet and cellphone I also want it to last as long as possible. I have a Thule bag but it is massive and riding with one is not a lot of fun, and when all you use on you bag in the laptop pouch and the front pouch not even the main pouch is it a waist... I would love a smaller Thule bag but I was given then bag as a gift and really don't want to spend 20000 on a bag.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

I've had a Kingson bag for over two years and it still looks as good as new. Used it on a bike but never in the rain although I'm sure they make waterproof ones as well..

I have a variant of this: https://www.makro.co.za/makstorefro...ckpack/p/cf264ad9-c0b9-4936-ae66-89c87608a9e1
Have had it for over 4 years and it's still in really good condition despite being in near daily use (including standing in the rain waiting for a bus, without the laptop inside getting wet).

I am unsure if the above linked one is the water resistant variant though, not sure where Targus would put model number on the bag, lol.
Has a padding on the bottom if you check in-store.

Also can't see the bottom, but think it's the same.
