The velour sunglass compartment is such a smart touch, I've never had a bag that kept my shades from getting scratched up with my keys. It fits my 15" laptop and a water bottle in the side pockets without feeling bulky on my commute.

The mesh back padding makes a huge difference on my commute—no more sweaty shirt by the time I get to work. And that velour sunglass compartment is genius; my shades have survived a month of daily tossing in my bag without a scratch.

The mesh back padding actually keeps my shirt from getting soaked on my commute, which I didn't expect at this price. My only gripe is the side pockets—a standard water bottle barely fits. Still, the zippered stash pocket is perfect for my keys and transit card.
