CamelBak Commute Bike Backpack

Best commuter backpack. I have used this backpack everyday for my last two years of university and I couldn’t be happier. It’s super functional—I love the ease of access to the front pouch, the strap pockets are essential for my keycard and my AirPods. The “helmet” loops are great to hang a carabiner for my keys and a lock for the gym. Zippers are quality. All whilst staying streamlined enough to look good. The size of it can make some binders and textbooks a bit of a hassle, but it can comfortably fit a laptop up to 15-16”. Durable, water resistant, looks cool. Best purchase ever :)

My son had this same backpack for years. Only had to replace it because he lost it in the river. Great backpack and well made.

For me, this bag just missed being a keeper. In fact, it's a great pack but not for the price. For about half the price, the Osprey Daylite Plus will give you 80% of this bag. What drew me to this pack is the potential for easy phone access on the harness system while riding my bike. Unfortunately, the phone compartment wont fit anything larger than something with maybe a 6 inch screen, and that would be tight. I managed to squeeze my Oneplus 12R in the compartment, but if you do squeeze a larger phone in there, say goodbye to "easy access". There's no way it will just slide in and out; it will be a struggle.My next issue was the lack of organization. It has a few zippered pencil bag type compartments but I like a few pockets for things like my wallet, a knife, a flashlight, maybe a pen, a multitool... You could throw all those things in the zippered compartment or the huge pocket on the back of the pack, but for the price I would expect a little more organization. Like I stated earlier, something like the Daylite Plus will provide a nice little command center to organize some things.Where this pack shined was on the exterior. The big pocket on the back is very roomy. The stretchy water bottle pockets could be used for a number of different things, including a bike lock. The stuff pocket will probably fit a bike helmet, a heavy jacket, or maybe an extra outfit. The reflective material on the pack provides much needed visibility if you bike in the city like I do. It also has the bike light holder which is useful, even though I keep a light on my bike, you can never have enough visibility.Overall, it's a good option and I do recommend it if you can find it on sale. I just don't agree with the nearly $140 price tag. For a very bike specific pack, it kind of falls short Other than the generous amount of reflective material, I just don't see what it adds over the Daylite Plus.

Needed a thinner backpack for my travels and this fit the bill. Held even my 32 oz Rtic water bottles with ease. A little snug at first but stretched a little and still allowed a tight fit.

La mochila cumple, pero no se asemeja tal cual las fotos del producto, se evidencia el pegamento en las juntas, los cierres no son como en las fotos, están amarradas y de mala calidad. En el interior se encuentra mal cocido. Creo que deben cambiar las fotos para no llevarse una sorpresa y por el precio mas aun.

I bike to campus no matter the weather and this bag gives me the peace of mind that my laptop and other belongings will stay dry. Plenty of organization options and the chest storage is great for not having to take the bag off your back when going for keys or wallet. Bag sits comfortably on the back and chest/waste straps retain it nicely. Reflective panels are very bright

Have done a few road miles with this bag now and I can say it's comfortable, protective and sturdy. The zippers and textiles are of high quality and are fairly water repellant. There are some downsides to the design, however.For anyone wondering, the laptop sleeve just barely fits a 16" Macbook pro. There isn't much slack in the sleeve material to roll up and seal it with a laptop that big, but it does just barely work. Anything larger will not fit and you'll lose the benefit of the waterproof sealThe cell phone pocket is also too small. It barely fits an iPhone 15 pro (anything bigger will definitely not fit), and even then, you will scrape it on the zipper every time you put the phone in and out of the pocket. There is also minimal padding on this pocket and no microfibre lining or anything, so it really isn't appropriate for modern, expensive smart phones. This was such a missed opportunity -- I would love quick access to my phone without having to take my bag off.The helmet carrier is also too small for anything but the tiniest of road helmets; anything resembling a commuter helmet will not fit (my Abus Hyban 2.0 will not fit, for example).

This whole backpack is the best really I have a number of daily carry backpacks and this is my number one pick after that comes alpaka but the reason I pick this one besides the point it's adaptable for anything it also does not get dirty or wet for that matter just the bottle holders look like they might break in the long run
