      I'm looking for a large, waterproof, and hard-core durable back pack. Anyone have any suggestions? My Timbuktu bag is over 10 years old and is still serviceable but I feel like I am ready for something else.

        @Filthy – I'm all about the offerings from either Ortlieb (I have the Packman Pro 2) or Mission Workshop (I had the Rambler at one time).

            Don't ask me, the answer will always be Ortlieb….....

                  No offense to Luke and Giles. But I am hoping they have something to suggest that looks less like something from the movie Cliffhanger. 😂

                  These could possibly work… but I am looking for something that is not a roll top and can fit under an airline seat (even if it sticks out a bunch).

                      But Cliffhanger is cool af dude! Don't you wanna look like Sly, @Filthy??  😃

                      Still gonna steer you towards Mission Workshop. Plenty of non-rolltop options and v well made.

                            Question, does it have to be waterproof (i.e. is it likely to be submerged)?

                            If so, will have a think.  If memory serves aome of the bags from Finisterre got some positive feedback.

                            If not. The Mystery Ranch packs with the Futura yoke harness are without a shadow of a doubt the moat comfortable packs I have ever used.  Also, the functionality of the tri-zip is awesome.

                            Appreciate the military aesthetic of some of them may not be for everyone though!

                              Are you implying expertise in a very specific subject area is not conducive to romance?  That simply can't be true. 😃

                                  It would not be submerged. But would sometimes be in the rain outside for 12 hours. It would also need to fot a 17 inch gaming laptop inside.

                                          It would not be submerged. But would sometimes be in the rain outside for 12 hours. It would also need to fot a 17 inch gaming laptop inside.

                                          Would be worth considering a bag made from x-pac. It is basically waterproof and is also very light.

                                          I have various x-pac pouches and a shoulder bag from Orbitgear in Jakarta.  The quality of their new stuff is exceptional for the price and had a quick look at their website and the backpack in the link below has weatherproof zips etc. but could not see size of laptop sleeve. Although it says out of stock, they do regular introduce stock and if is of interest you can sign up for a 10% discount (also, if you log in and browse items enough, they will send you a discount code).

                                          https://www.orbitgear.net/collections/backpack/products/r101-adv-vx-nighthawk?variant=32092173533282

                                          Black Ember do some lovely looking waterproof packs. Most of them say that only hold 15” laptop, however, my understanding is that this one can hold a 17” laptop but would need to double check
