I can only recommend it.

The black and white part. Either you like it, or you don't.
A cool piece that not everyone has. However, it comes at a hefty price. However, the workmanship and the material used are of high quality. The carrying straps should be a bit stiffer. They are starting to deform and twist. The pocket on the back is ingenious for smaller items that you need again and again. Relatively theft-proof but still usable without taking off the backpack. Despite its compact size, it is very roomy and absolutely sufficient for your daily MUSICAL DAY and even a little more.
PLEASE NOTE: the horizontal secret compartment at the bottom is not present in this backpack in this colour (grey) despite the description to the contrary!Pro
- strong fabric, cool design
- relatively easy
- Good interior division, padded laptop compartment, 3 slip pockets 1x with zipper
Contra
- a bit of a pity for Brookspurists: made in Italy
- Carrying straps are not optimal, they deform when you use the chest strap.
- no zipper to close the main compartment.
- no key hook or the like on the inside

Very chic and simple
The backpack is very well made and consists of high-quality materials, so far so good. However, despite the chest strap, the fit is not ideal, especially when cycling the backpack slides back and forth ;-)
The interior has a good padded partition where I can safely store a laptop or tablet, for example. I hardly ever use the zipped compartment, but I do use the two slip pockets. If you like it more organised, you won't be happy, but if you swear by simplicity, you'll be well served here! I find the zipped compartment on the back cool, which I like to use for tickets and such!Pro
- Material and processing
- Closure
- Zipped compartment at the back

Stylish and practical
It fits my 15" Macbook pro inside the sleeve. It is a good size for a commuter backpack but if you like to bring a lot of stuff, I would size up to the bigger one. I usually bring: Bose headphones, keyboard, mouse, waterbottle, a small pouch of items, and snacks - which fills up the bag quite well.
I've received many compliments on the bag.Pro
- Beautiful color
- Durable
- Great quality

Disillusionment after 8 months
I use the backpack at least 5 days a week to take the train to work with a total walking distance of about 15 minutes. I've owned the backpack since the end of August 2021 - so not that long. And I still find it very stylish because of its simplicity.
After my bike ride home in the pouring rain, I noticed that my rain jacket and my T-shirt had turned blue at the waistband. At first I thought it was from my jeans - but far from it - the backpack is scuffed in the lower back area and there is hardly anything left of the beautiful smoky blue.
In addition, the parts that are always needed (folds to close the backpack) are completely worn out after 8 months.
I personally expect a lot more quality from a backpack in this price segment.
Would I buy the backpack again? NOPro
- Stylish
- Size is perfect
- Lightweight
- Fits more than you think
- Interior layout
Contra
- No rain cover
- In the rain the backpack stains
- Colour rubbing off in frequently used areas

Top product
Optimal commuter backpack for bike/scooter. Keeps the contents dry - even in heavy snow or rain.
Processing very good, everything extremely robust. With the metal buckles, however, caution is advised: when swinging the backpack everything fragile in the 1.5m radius in danger (including people)!Pro
- good workmanship
- Optics
- Weatherproof
Contra
- Wicked metal buckle

The backpack of all backpacks...
I have now worn the backpack on my back for about 1000 km while riding my road bike.... No slipping, no uncomfortable pressure. I think the backpack is definitely worth the money and you have a bit of nostalgia on your back :-)
Pro
- cool wearing comfort
- Plenty of space
- chic design
