Following up on the post from yesterday<\/a> I got an email from a reader (one of my two, so who am I to refuse?)  about the Osprey Flap Jack bag I mentioned. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

This bag is my goto bag for work travel or when I do not ride my bike to work, which is usually only when I fly somewhere.  <\/p>\n

I picked this bag up 4 months ago and have used it constantly since then. It has been jammed in overhead compartments, shoved under seats, thrown in cabs, jammed in trunks and everything in between. But the best part? It still looks good enough for taking to a client meeting.<\/p>\n

I usually try and just fly away for one night, so I bring with me in that bag:
 – Travel Laptop (Lenovo X61s)
 – Charger
 – Headphones
 – iPhone
 – Moleskine Folio
 – Nike 3.0 Frees
 – Workout Clothes, Extra dress shirt and an extra undershirt
 – Grooming kit
 – Book
 – Camera
 – Hand Sani<\/p>\n

All of that in that bag looks like this:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 All of that outside that bag looks like this:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

And you still don’t look like you are running away from home. And no offense to targus bags, but you don’t look like a huge computer nerd. Which I clearly am, but I don’t need to tell the world.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The bag has a front packet that I use to carry things I need quick access to, like hand sani and ID badge.<\/p>\n

 There is a side pocket which PERFECTLY fits a power supply and iPhone cable so you can charge you gear while you wait to board the plane and not tear your bag apart looking for things.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Then in the bag there is a larger front compartment which I use to hold my keys, phone (in a soulrun <\/a>sleeve) and headphones. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Then main compartment is cavernous.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

There is a padded laptop sleeve behind the main compartment which swallows my travel laptop. I have put my main macbook pro in it with no problems. I don’t bother with a laptop sleeve on the lenovo since the built-in-sleeve is so well protected.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

And the shoulder straps and back look very nice, can hold a good deal of weight and once again, keep you from looking like you left your pocket protector at home.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 I picked mine up at REI Denver while on a business trip out there. This bag started my interest in Osprey bags, check out my review of the Raptor 10 here.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Osprey says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Men’s Performance Flap Style Daypack<\/strong>
These active everyday packs offer gender specific sizing and styling along with comfortable Osprey carry and smart functionality.  All styles carry laptops safely and securely – along with everything needed for a busy day around town.<\/p>\n
