Review on TIMBUK2 Especial Expandable Backpack Velocity Backpacks by Heather Aragon

Probably the perfect backpack for some but not for me. The width is very high and the padding on the back is very high. I certainly don't need that much padding even when carrying a lot of books. Which this backpack is clearly not intended for. I saw it called motorcycle backpack so maybe that's the market. It's only a few inches wide, although the top may swell. Again, this isn't very practical for books, but if you need to tuck a sweatshirt in, there's a place for it. If you need to carry some extra long items, this can be great. Like zoom lenses or keyboards or art portfolios or anything else that's very long. But if you mainly carry a laptop and some books, or maybe a laptop, lunch and gym clothes, the shape for that is just weird. On the other hand, if you really want a lot of padding on your back, this bag might be for you. But that's not true for me.
