Laptop rucksacks

Anyone used an bike rucksacks with a proper laptop compatment in there, I am looking for one that also has space to store some other stuff, lunch, shoes etc

Cheers

I've got an Oxford one, its rather good. It even has a little bag that pops out the bottom to cover it if it rains. I don't actually wear it though, I bungee it to the back of the bike. Works a treat.

I use an Oxford sports tailpack on the back of the bike, the whole thing just unzips & turns into a rucksack for the final walk to the office - my Dell 420 fits it in fine along with all the other usual rubbish. My other laptop (Dell 620) is a bit of a squeeze but it will still fit if you extend the tailpack to full height.

Also, if you're worried about the laptop being waterproof stick it in a carrier bag first - sounds daft but works a treat even during winter.

If you do get a rucksack for your laptop do make sure u strap it your bike rather than wearing it. They can cause serious spinal injuries should u have an off.

-maybe. But i feel better with mine on as it would stop my back bending. A rucksack without a laptop in however i agree. Timberland make a really good range of laptop bags. They look like normal bags so you're less likely to have it nicked!, the padding is good, and they're huge! i can get a full face helmet in mine.

i wear a lowepro, camera bag that has a laptop compartmant at the back.

But it has lots of padding between laptop and my back, also i have a knoxs back protector.

100% agree with this, the Lowepro bags are without a doubt the best for protecting your camers laptops etc, i had a lowepro mini trecker and it fell at least 50 feet of the edge of a cliff in the peaks when i eventually got to it all that was cracked was a £11 pound lens filter, i had over £900 pounds worth of camera gear. with not a scratch THESE ARE THE BEST i have full confidence that they will keep any equipment safe, it will cost you about £160 but it will last you forever, soundl like im selling them lol, but they really are that good, Trust me lol,

I agree... get it fitted you have them fitted correctly! In my case I was very lucky. The ambulance crew told me that my laptop saved my life.

The laptop insurance company weren't too happy about paying out for a new laptop after my off, but after a look in thier small print they found nothing and could do nothing but pay out.

Ive got one of these

It's got comfy padded straps and a waist strap to stop it from moving about on your back.
It also has its own little built in kagool for when its raining.

I however (like Kate) feel much more comfortable with it bungied to the seat.

The site that the linky points to is where I got mine from. They where very good indeed.
