Hi everyone!! I would love your opinions on acquiring the The Patagonia Disperser RollTop 40L – link: https://www.patagonia.com/product/disperser-roll-top-water-resistant-pack-40-liters/48575.html?dwvar_48575_color=PGBE – for everyday bike commuting to & from work. I currently have an ILE Apex Daypack but it is WAY too small for my needs.
For context, I spend 12hrs+ at a hospital each day, & carry everything from a 15in laptop, to a water bottle, coffee mug, lunchbox + extra snacks, personal items (everything that would go in a purse), study materials (large binder), & at times clothing changes if I'm either going to the gym or trying to adjust to the range of temps we experience throughout the day here in San Francisco.
pros & cons? Personally dislike that it doesn't have water bottle holders on the side. The lack of laptop compartment I can live with.
For context, I'm a pretty small person, 5'2 125lbs. I don't mind looking ridiculous with it on as long as it serves its purpose. I'm also a rock climber so if my commuting habits change, I will find plenty of other uses for it.
Thoughts? 🙂

That’s a huge pack on bike. If you have a rear rack I go for waterproof panniers. Less sweaty too.
To answer your question, the REI Ruckpack 40.
