So I’ve been using this backpack that Rosie got me for hiking to get my stuff back and forth to work for almost two years now.  I switched to it one day, when the bag Amazon ‘issued’ me wouldn’t hold something.  I had never liked the original Amazon bag, it just looked lame and the hiking bag was OK.  But I’ve been wanting to switch to a new bag for a while, but hadn’t found anything I liked.

In a nut shell, I wanted a bag which was organized inside, but also had enough space to jam in big stuff when needed.  The bike messager bags tend to met these requirements pretty well, but I didn’t want to go back to a shoulder bag.  I gave up on them a long time ago because they were killing my shoulders.

So yesterday Rosie, Isaac and I made  trip to REI store in Redmond.  We needed to pick up some stuff for our upcoming camping trip / Field Day.  While I was wondering around, I saw this interesting looking Keen bag on top of a pile of other stuff.  I picked it up and was simply amazed by it.  Basically they took a messager bag insides and managed to twist them around to work in a backpack.  It is actually a bit smaller then my hiking backpack, but it more then makes up for it in how they organized the inside.

Anyhow I love my new backpack!
