Work/commuting backpack, ideally not a US company (lemmy.ca)

My cheap no-name Chinese backpack is finally falling apart, after over 20 years of absolutely solid service.

I want something that will last at least another 20 years, will hold a modern 16" laptop (e.g. Macbook), and will also let me toss a pair of jeans and light jacket in, when I ride home from work in the spring and fall afternoons.

I'd like to avoid American brands if possible.

Looked online at the SwissGear 5698 and Endure, but don't know how well they're built, or if they'll hold my junk.

Any recommendations?

Its going to be pretty pricey but the commuter bag from LTT is probably exactly what you are looking for. Canadian company that's mostly tech centric but they have a consumer goods portion of the company that focuses on making high quality items that are built to last.

    Honestly, if it were 5L larger, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    20L is pretty tight for clothes - and their next model up is 35L. Something, ANYTHING in between those would be ideal.

    But I'm sorely tempted...
