Saved my back, saved my laptop, what more could you want?

I bought this backpack 4 years ago and have been riding my motorcycle ever since. I ride a 2006 GSXR 750 to work. I'm a computer engineer so carrying my Macbook Pro away from the rain was a must. Well, just like buying horseback riding gear, you can't fully appreciate it until you collide with it. Well I'll spare you that, I did it for you. I crashed last week (05/2016) on the Autobahn at about 40 km/h in heavy traffic. Deep bead after locking front wheel, fell onto the road, got out with a broken thumb and a few road rashes "on foot" (mind you I'm done). My bag is almost intact except for a scratch/very small hole in the bottom. It served as a pretty good back protector as I fell on it twice before finishing the slide. To the surprise of the patrolman, I went to check the condition of my laptop and it was intact and in great shape. Everything was in the bag. So kudos to OGIO for my laptop, my back and all. However, I have to buy a new motorcycle. I can still use it and will probably (when my broken arm allows me to ride again) put a piece of tape over the hole and we're good to go. Never had a drop of water in it when driving in the rain. I love this thing, period. Maybe I should buy a second one now.

Pros
