Chrome  Barrage Cargo Pack

This is a great backpack, verified weather/water-proof, with expansive space inside. The only problem is there are few pockets to put things, but the up side of that is it forced me to get 5-6 small travel bags for various things that I would usually put into various pockets. The reason that's an up side is because it gives me more flexibility to quickly take what I need with me or leave it, sometimes not taking this backpack at all when I don't need everything, and sometimes taking a different backpack. This also gave me the idea to take some of these small bags of things that I don't need every day and just keep them in the trunks of my cars instead, making this backpack I carry with me every day much lighter and able to carry more stuff. This pack works well whether I'm doing my daily IT work or camping, and I can just leave some small bags behind at home or work depending on what I'm doing that day. With all the room in this pack, plus the expandability at the top when you need to overfill it, many things I carry along with my bag to wherever I'm going can just be put in the pack instead, like small boxes and other equipment, leaving my hands free. The fact that the interior is just a big hole with a laptop pocket means I can drop anything in there for transport, leaving whatever else I need in small bags at the bottom.

I’ve been using this model for probably close to 8 years now (purchased 2 in that time frame), and it’s perfect. It’s large enough where you can use it for long weekends and it can be condensed for running regular errands around town. Entire grocery hauls have fit in this bag before. Perfect for those who are on the go. The mesh outside allows for odd shaped items or even items you want to dry off like towels. The straps are good to clip things onto like keys, speaker, lights, etc. It has never let me down during all these years.
