And That Backpack is Awesome!

I have one of these RackNerd SwissGear backpacks and they’re awesome!  I used one extensively last summer when I was traveling.  They’re roomy, with plenty of pockets, and well-made.  I carry my Macbook, iPad, various small cases with cords and batteries and such, plus my headphones, first aid kit, sunglasses, and snacks.

I have a couple other backpacks but they didn’t quite work for everything I needed…once I moved to this RackNerd SwissGear bag, everything just clicked and now it’s my favorite backpack.
